DIESEL ELECTRIC UNITS MANUFACTURED IN OUR HOME TOWN

So few people in our home town, Bloemfontein in the Free State Province of South Africa, actually knows that trains are designed and built inthe huge workshops of the Railway. My brother in-law, Johan Broderick, is also one of the managers to oversee the delicate welding processes. Especially the upside down skill who few welders can achieve. The photo's of these diesel electric units are taken from a magazine of the Railway Academy in the workshop. The diesel units were ordered by a cement factory.
