Transnet Freight Rail (TFR), in conjunction with ArcelorMittal South Africa (AMSA), Barloworld and Grindrod Logistics, have launched a ‘steel hub’ at TFR’s Elandsfontein yard to migrate steel volumes that are being transported by road back onto rail. Two years after first deliberations, last week the first train travelled from AMSA’s plant, in Newcastle, KwaZulu-Natal, to the steel hub/distribution centre, in Elandsfontein, south-east of Johannesburg.
