Freight stock begins to arrive at Sandstone. Diesel Tanker (Thabiso load)

The first of the freight stock items (total 114 units) purchased by the Sandstone Heritage Trust has arrived at Sandstone Estates. The cost of transporting each item is greater than the actual cost of the items in question due to the long distance that needs to be covered. It is an 850 kms trip each way.

 

Due to height restrictions the wagons have to be removed from their bogies which will be transported separately. The first item to arrive is a relatively rare NGX tanker.
