in trains and provided the original copy of this Select Report for the use of Railway
Historians. He hails from De Aar, a famous South African Railway junction.

A Hub or Nodal Point: South African Railway History and related
historical interests
A friend Bruce Jones, a pensioner like most of our readers, with his science and maths
background has created a “hub or nodal point” called: ZA Police and Railway Hub and has
registered it as: http://www.zapoliceandrailwayhub.com/ When you have time, you are
invited to go and have a look! It is our intention to create some kind of a platform where
“we” – like minded people - can place links to our various interest groups. He also helps
with the technical issues related to THE ULOLWE and The eNONGQAI.
From 14 April 2009 I have a Face Book site called: Foto's SA Spoorweë / Photos SA Railways,
the reference is: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=74709226744
I have found that our South African historical interests scattered and fragmented in cyber
space, the more I do research, the more I find this in other fields as well. If somebody would
like more information please contact Bruce Jones – he is a Scotsman - at the following email:
