NEW WAGONS FOR BOTSWANA
Posted on 08 March 2010 by Railways Africa Editor
Botswana Railways (BR) procurement manager Mogwena Mookodi told Engineering News that it is intended to add 160 open salt wagons to its fleet for carrying bulk salt in Southern Africa. Trains will start at Botswana Ash (Botash) and continue through to the Durban harbour in South Africa, conveying export traffic destined mainly for the UK, USA and China.
Botash produces chemical grade salt and salt for human consumption as a by-product of ash, the magazine explains.
“Mookodi said that Botswana’s salt industry had been doing very well the last couple of years and predicted that the trend would continue going into the future.”
