Post subject:  Red Devil Trip - Ceres Rail - This Weekend

Hello,

Look like Ceres will be getting the 3450 out and about this weekend on a 3 day round trip from Cape Town to Robertson, starting today. Wishing them well as last year's trip had some challenges, as I recall, possibly a valve ring failure.

Hoping they work to bring her back closer to the full Class 26 performance tune.

They have a good design foundation to work with. It's good to see the Class 25's (in this case ex class 25) get a work out.

They may have had the 3450 out for a proving run earlier this spring which may be shown in this video. Assuming it's this year, I don't think they double headed it last year. Could be wrong. Minimal public information is available on its operations.

All the best to Ceres.

Regards,

Randy

Hello,

Scratch the first post. Looks like the 3450 had issues again based on the comment in the attached video posted yesterday.
