It could probably have been worse if the train had rolled over to the left and rolled down the slope..... Most of the bent rails have already been cut up and removed. |

The four diesels lying on their sides in the mud, waiting for the mess of coal wagons behind them to be cleared so that the track can be repaired to enable the heavy lifters to reach the locos. |

SAR Derailment |
| Description: |
The newly laid track is kinky since there's still a hole on the side of the roadbed that needs to be filled in before the track can be straightened, welded and ballasted. The four locos are still lying where they fell, except the lead loco, which had to be dragged aside to clear the roadbed. |

The four locos are still lying where they fell, except the lead loco which had to be dragged aside to clear the roadbed. They will be removed later - first priority is to get the line back in operation. |

| Description: |
Finally back on its "feet" again, the lead loco of the foursome awaits a decision on its fate. It will probably be taken to the Transwerk shops in Bloemfontein for repairs. |
