Private rail operator and services company Traxtion has refurbished five class 39 locomotives it bought from State-owned Transnet at its workshop in Rosslyn, Gauteng. This is part of its fleet expansion to meet the growing demand of freight rail services in Africa. "Traxtion is preparing for the next phase of adding new locomotives to the fleet. We now have a fleet of 60 locomotives and are operating in eight African countries," the company said in a statement this week.
