R4637. Apex Colliery ex SAR Class 1. 9th September,1972.
R4637. The last colliery line that we were able to visit was the Apex Colliery around six miles south west of Witbank. Here we found their ex. South African Railways Class 1 4-8-0 heading towards the exchange sidings with a loaded coal train.
The Class 1s were introduced in 1904 and built by North British for the Natal Government Railways where they were the ‘B’ Class.
