The RSSA arranged a visit to the Transnet Koedoespoort Workshops to see the assembly line for the Class 39 Diesel Electic locomotives and the Class 6E upgrade. Other locomotives were seen in the yard.

The 2009 SA Narrow Gauge tour offered a similar programme to the 2008 one, but the weather was different with more cloud. Sandstone had restored a second NG6 Lawley, and at last we had steam back on the Avontuur Line.
