Rail-fanning Movements & Shunting of Ballast Trains in the Western Cape | Train South Africa

#PietConradie #TrainShunt #SAClass36 In this video I feature Transnet NAY wagons designed for transporting ballast stone and show my quest to find where these wagons are loaded - final answer: Kalbaskraal station on the branch line to Malmesbury and Saldanha. Ultimately the ballast goes from the Bellville yard to SALKOR (Saldanha) to be used on the Sishen-Saldanha line. The shunting activities at KALBASKRAAL are quite extensive and will be enjoyed by all railfans. TIME Menu of video clips: 00:05 BRACKENFELL 10 June 2019 Train driver: S.J.
