The only event of note was the Makhanga to Blantyre train on Sunday 2nd September - to start with the engine derailed on the triangle at Sankhulani and we lost about an hour and a half whilst the crew re-railed it using a couple of bricks and lots of skill and experience, however another 10km later coaches 4 and 5 derailed at approx 40kph and thankfully (we were in coach 6) stayed upright with an emergency brake application. After a bit of head scratching by the crew it was decided to split the train and the front half (with us on the engine) went forward to Sandama where the coaches were dumped in the siding and they could make phone contact with HQ. The loco then returned to the derailed coaches and after rerailing assistance arrived by road, it got back to Blantyre at 0545 the next morning - 24 hours after departing Makhanga. Meanwhile we were lucky enough to catch a lift in the only car in the village of Sandama (belonging to an immigration official on his weekly visit who by she
er luck was going back to Blantyre himself) for 3.5 hours of the most appalling roads either of us have ever had the misfortune to use!
