Mpumalanga Rail Freight Annual Tonnage by Area and Commodity - 2008

Table 5b Mpumalanga Rail Freight Annual Tonnage by Area and Commodity - 2008

Witbank – Ogies - Delmas - Welgedag and Hawerklip spur Westward (Inland) Direction Notes in respect of table contents: The railway traffic information that appears in this table details commodities that move over this route or through part of it. This includes high volumes of traffic between the Coalfields and inland destinations including imported coking coal from the Richards Bay Coal Line to the Vanderbijlpark steel works. Important tonnages of paper products, industrial chemicals and fertilizers move over the route from the Phalaborwa industrial area as well as chrome and copper for export at Durban.

This table details traffic forwarded from or received at specific stations within the province. Intrastate traffic is that which has been forwarded from one station in the province and received at another station in the province. Bridge traffic (also known as Transit traffic) is that which is generated on one province and which passes through Mpumalanga to another province.

Transnet Freight Rail have recently changed Commodity descriptions and groupings. For example, Rock Phosphate is now described under the heading of “Mining of Chemical and Fertiliser Minerals: while “Wood and Wood Products” now cover Pulpwood, Sawn Timber, and Wood Chips.” This makes it difficult in some cases to make comparisons with earlier statistical data. Another heading is “Not Listed as a Commodity.” It appears that this is for commodities which the TFR statisticians have not identified in their data collection exercises.
