Rail Loop
Commentary
Tshipi constructed an 8km rail loop connecting the Transnet
Freight Rail (TFR) regional railway to the mine's siding and rapid
load terminal (RLT)
The rail loop is designed to handle two 208 wagon trains and
withstand the weight of 80 tonne filled wagons
The loop is fully electrified but is only switched on when loading is
in progress

Illustration
Tshipi's RLT consists of an overhead silo with a capacity of 600
tonnes and a flask calibrated to fill a single 63 tonne wagon
Despite full automation, the RLT is operated manually to ensure
careful and balanced loading of the wagons
Tshipi rents a locomotive to shunt the wagons during loading at a
speed of 0.4km/hr
The RLT is able to fill a complete train within 4-6 hours, compared
to the 12 hours in standard Transnet contract terms
