TANKCARS FOR SWAZILAND

Posted on 14 May 2009 by Railways Africa Editor

Swaziland Railway (SR) is investing in rolling stock, having recently acquired 20 tank wagons. According to SR director of operations Stephenson Ngubane, quoted by FTW, “These tank wagons will be injected into the existing fleet dedicated to the conveyance of fuel.” With regard to motive power, Ngubane said the company’s locomotives are adequate to meet current demands in a fluctuating market. Export traffic conveyed in 2008 was low compared to the previous year. This was attributable to depleted timber business after the Mondi forests were destroyed by fire.
