For instance, if a train from East London hits a cow early in January, damaging the locomotive, a 17-coach express heading for the coast with anything up to 1,200 passengers on-board won’t be able to get past. If the passenger train has already spent five hours in a heatwave at Burgersdorp, standing face-to-face with another train in the middle of nowhere, it will have run out of water and the toilets will be overflowing. Not all that far away, Murphy seems to have had his hands full, with a train from Port Elizabeth that was Photographed this in the municipal transport supposed to take 20 hours to Johannesburg. It was workshops at Seattle. battling with binding brakes, overflowing toilets and no water. In the end it was to take 33 hours to complete its journey. Attempts to contact Shosholoza Meyl offices were unsuccessful. Nobody answered (Murphy again). The train manager said there was nothing she could do. Eastern Cape area operations manager for Shosholoza Meyl, Nosipho Mancotywa wasn't aware of any complaints regarding the lack of water but she confirmed the lengthy delays with News24. Mancotywa said the signals were not working at Cradock because the electricity was off. Murphy can be a real devil where electricity is involved and he is a dab hand with cockroaches.

  • Chapter 4 State of Technology and Challenges of Railway Sector
    Chapter 4 State of Technology and Challenges of Railway Sector Chapter 4 State of Technology and Challenges of Railway Sector 4.1 State of Technology and challenges of Railway-related Fields In this study, the Study Team conducted field surveys and interviews of railway companies, administrative entities, and related organizations regarding the state of technology and issues of various fields related to railway. The following are the results and challenges for the future. 4.1.1 Rolling Stock This section will mainly cover the specifications of rolling stock and maintenance. The making of new rolling stock will be covered in “4.3 State of Related Private Sectors, Supporting Industries, and Issues.” (1) Current Status 1) Characteristics of Rolling Stock In South Africa, railways are electrified using 3kV DC, 25 kV AC, and 50 kV AC. Suburban lines near big cities use DC as they were electrified at a relatively early period. The rural lines mainly use AC. The Iron Ore Line (Sishen–Saldanha section) uses 50 kV AC electrification, which is quite rare in the world. For this reason, various types and models of rolling stock are in use, including electric locomotives that can be used for various electrification methods and non-electrified sections, diesel electric locomotives, diesel locomotives, and electric multiple units (EMUs). DC motor is used mainly for the traction motor of locomotives and the motor cars of EMU; however, AC induction motor, which is the world standard today, is used for Series 19E and 15E electric locomotives. Both the freight trains and passenger trains of the South African National Railway use vacuum brake as the main braking system.

Introduction 1.1 This report provides an estimate of the City of Johannesburg’s greenhouse gas emissions inventory. The work was undertaken by Siemens through the C40 Measurement & Planning initiative. It is the first city-wide inventory produced for the city and uses the global protocol for community scale greenhouse gas emissions (GPC) methodology. The GPC was developed by C40 and ICLEI in close consultation with local governments and also the World Resources Institute and the joint work programme of the Cities Alliance between World Bank, UNEP and UN-Habitat. Johannesburg is the first African C40 City to use the GPC to estimate its emissions. 1.2 This report gives an overview of Johannesburg’s greenhouse gas emissions and the methodology used to collect the estimate them. In addition this report sets out some of the challenges in data collection and makes recommendations on how data collection can be improved going forward. 1.3 All cities face challenges with collecting and reporting data related to their greenhouse gas emissions and Johannesburg is no exception. It is the first and most important step in understanding the City’s emissions and how to improve its measurement. 1.4 Producing a city-wide baseline allows the City to examine where its emissions are coming from, but it also allows them to understand areas where data is not adequate or available, or where further information is needed to help them make decisions about programmes or policies they might wish to put in place.
