Pretoria - A steam engine pulling carriages with hundreds of passengers on board derailed just outside Pretoria on Sunday, probably because sleepers were stolen from under the train track near the Cullinan station.
The carriages did not derail, and none of the 627 passengers were injured. There were no tourists on board.
A preliminary investigation shows that thieves stole a few sleepers from the track near Cullinan, and that seems to be the cause of the accident," said Jaftha.
The steam locomotive, coal tender and the train's water tank derailed and overturned.
