I wonder if they just want to push a sleeper cab onto the bridge?

Maybe stf can tell us how expensive it would be to truck one or two in there...

I crossed that bridge tier for tier,..a bunch of boons the host
too that structure!! I believe it should be maintained only to
resemble mankind in a foreign affair with nature!!

A stepping stone, bridge over troubled waters!!!

The Selati rail line was established in the hey day with
little regard for conservation. It was established for the
transportation of wealth!!

To date we are attempting the same dear Sanparks?????

I have sent both the above articles to the SAR-L yahoo groups to see if anyone can shed any light on the articles.

AS far as I know the railway line from Komatipoort to Skukuza has been lifted so there os no way of getting a coach there unless it is taken by road which will cost a fortune.

This has also raised a question for me.

How did they get the steam locomotive and coaches to the Selati Restaurant?

As soon as I get some answers I will post them here.
