Trains collide on Transnet's main coal export line

Trains on South Africa’s main coal export line collided early on 14 January, shutting the route that’s been plagued with issues, according to state logistics company Transnet SOC Ltd.

Workers are trying to clear the two trains that were derailed in the incident that occurred outside Richards Bay, Transnet said in a statement on Monday.

When you had to pay R 9m (guessing) for each one and never received them, probably difficult lol.

Would be pretty difficult as you would have to climb over the wreck and deal with the mangled support beams. Might be smart to install it before the accident in the future

Mmmm.... So Transnet can't monitor any train traffic in real time? Unreal.
