About the Book
The date : the early 1980s. The requirement : to move in excess of six million tons of gold bearing ore every year from the shafts to the processing plants.
But it is not only the Garratts, their older sisters soldiered on to for some years and all are covered in this sumptuously illustrated book. Complete with detailed captions, lively anecdotes, technical data, a comprehensive survey of the mine's locomotives that will surprise many, and a detailed schematic of the railway system. 240 pages, 364 photographs.
Please note : If you are only interested in the Garratts, please note the appropriate content has been distilled into another title (available in standard landscape format) called "Randfontein Estates Gold Mine : The Garratt Story". Please see separate catalogue entry.
