South Africa: Steam loco derailed after thieves steal sleepers.
Train derails in Cullinan after sleepers were removed
The problem with wooden sleepers is that they can be sold as people use them to make furniture and curios. Of course, the thieves don't think about the consequences of removing them.  I don't think the loco was too badly damaged, thank goodness.
