Knagur Green: Due to no response from the CO after the request to maintain or replace the cache, I am archiving it to, stop it showing on the listings and/or to create place for the geocaching community.

The Geocache Maintenance guideline explains a CO's responsibility towards checking and maintaining the cache when problems are reported.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival. This is explained in the Help Center

If the CO feels that this cache has been archived in error please feel free to contact me within 30 days, via email or message via my profile ,quoting the GC number concerned

Thank you for understanding

Geocache Description:


Traffic on this branch which was opened in 1927, and was only seasonal, consisted mainly of citrus traffic for export. Some 59 000 tons of citrus was generated on the branch during 2005 – 2006, all destined to New Brighton and Algoa Bay (Port Elizabeth) for export. A small amount of lime and fertiliser was received. 

The branch is 33 km in length and has a 1 in 66 maximum permissible axle load. Train control was by Radio Train Order and up to two trains were run daily during the peak season of August to September. 

Today the railway line is not in use anymore.
