RESCUE TO SAFETY – MASSIVE SHED IN TOWN
After years of continued high security costs to guard the trains in the Ficksburg Shed, it was decided to withdraw security from the shed. This however turned out to be a bad decision and one break-in resulted in a R600,000 loss in spares.
The management of the Sandstone Steam Railroad recently decided to move this shed to the yard in Hoekfontein Farm where it will be used for the storage of all unrestored Narrow Gauge wagons and locomotives.
