South Africa’s state-owned Transnet has taken the decision to reduce its freight rail network by around 35 per cent. The 12,247 mile rail network will be cut by 4000 miles as the company implements an overall restructuring of Transnet Freight Rail. The decision to scale down the network has also been taken against a background of the ongoing theft of cables utilised to run its electric trains and a scarcity of locomotive parts.
