Pretoria – Transnet Rail Engineering has sold passenger coaches to Angola.
“The sale of these units is in line with Rail Engineering’s strategy of intensifying its marketing activities in the African market, with the objective of expanding its footprint in this market,” it said.
Transnet Rail Engineering, which is a divison of Transnet Limited, has sold the 18 passenger coaches and two power cars to Dominex Imports and exports CC in Angola.
The coaches were sold after Kei Rail Passenger Service, running between uMthatha and East London, no longer needed their service.
The coaches were shipped from Durban Harbour to Angola last weekend.
The units consist of 13 Economy Class Sitter Coaches, two Business Class Sitter Coaches, one Economy Class Sleeper Coach and two kitchen cum bar coaches. – BuaNews
