ScawJunctionScaw SA making frames and bolsters for newlocomotive series
A winner at rail expo 2009
Wheel plant reopened
The locomotives on this page are all new Class 39-200 diesel electric units built at Transnet Rail Engineering’s facili-
ties (seen above). Scaw South Africa and Electro Motive Diesel are manufacturing the frames and bolsters (shown
below, right) for this series of locomotive.
Much of the content in this feature is courtesy of Transnet.

by Charmaine Mostert, administration manager, Northern Region Distribution.

South Africa’s nationalfreight railway service provider, Transnet,is renewing its agingfleet of locomotives
and Scaw South Africa is integralto the project.
Scaw South Africa’s CastProducts division, in partnershipwith Electro Motive Diesel (EMD), is manufacturing the locomotiveframes and bolsters for Transnet’s new Class 39-200 diesel electric locomotives, as part of this fleetupgrade.
The first new locomotive wasunveiled at a ceremony held at
Transnet Rail Engineering (TRE)in Pretoria on 26 March by execu-tives from TRE and EMD. This was a prestigious event attended by Scaw’s senior managementteam.
A total of 104 frame and bol-ster packages were ordered fromScaw for this project. They will becompleted by December 2009.(The frame and bolster are themain structural elements support-ing the locomotive.)
NEW CLASS 39-200 SERIESOriginally it was intended to rebuild one hundred Class34-600 and 34-800 locos as a Class 39. Although the projectwas a success technically forTransnet, apparently the costsincurred were somewhat higherthan anticipated. Accordingly, after completing only five of these units, it was decided toend the series. A second series of locomotives was introduced tosupersede the original Class 39.
The second series, a Class
39-200, is being assembled fromimported and locally producedcomponents, and will, in effect,
comprise completely new locomo-tives. Transnet Rail Engineeringand EMD are collaborating in
assembling these units at TRE’s facilities in Koedoespoort, Pretoria.
Scaw South Africa won the awardfor second runner-up in the cate-gory Best Large Shell Scheme at the Africa Rail and HarbourExpo held on 24 and 25 June at
the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg. Delegates from African, Asian, European and American countries attended thetwo-day conference held at the
exhibition.This show provides the oppor-
tunity for key players in businessand government to network.
The Scaw stand displayed
the group’s range of cast steel railway products, wire and strand, steel wire rope and chain. It wasvisited by government officials, executives and management from
various countries and businesses, including Transnet Freight Rail,Transnet Rail Engineering, Vale and Bombardier.
Scaw South Africa closed its Wheel plant at its Union Junction operation in February 2009 due to the economic downturn. At that stage, a total of 189 employees were redeployed to other sections of the Cast Products division. After lengthy and fruitful negotiations between the executive management teams at Scaw and Transnet Rail Engineering, it was decided to reopen the Wheel plant. The Wheel plant started production at the end of June at a rate of 2 000 wheels per month with a reduced employee complement. At full capacity it is possible for the Wheel plant to produce 55 000 wheels per annum.
In its twelfth year, the Africa Rail and Harbour Expo focused on Investment and development opportunities for operators, developers, government and investors.

Saved from the fire
Arequipa and Lima strengthening bonds Above left and left: Employees and theirfamilies gathered for training programmes.Above: Mr and MrsLa Serna from theLima operationenjoying a joint training session.
Moly-Cop Adesur (in Arequipa and Lima, Perú) has introduced a training programme for the families of employees aimed at bringing about positive changes within the family and the community. The main objectives of the programme are to:
Strengthen values, principles and ethics. Promote a vision of improved parenting and an understanding of the benefits of positive family-worker-company interrelations, and how these influence decision-making processes. Motivate individuals toparticipate in their communities and deal with current and potential community problems, in particular, those generated by poverty and poor education.
n and George submit-a copy of the Christmas65 Scaw Review (the wquivalent of ScawJunction) and said: n“Do you recognise the picture on the front cover?” It is of the ad-ministration officesat Union Junction,before the second storey was added.
otograph was taken shortly after the Plane tree inen was planted. Now, 44 years later, that small sap-ng branches that fill the horseshoe space between
the wings of the building (centre photograph). In the same way that the tree has undergone tremendous growth, so too has the Scaw Metals Group.
The name Scaw comes from the acronym of the original name of the business: Steel Ceilings andAluminium Works Limited. Original, pressed, steelceiling moulds are still on view at Union Junction (see photograph below). Manoel Santiago was the original founder member. He was joined by Maurice Smollen and together they formed a limit-ed liability company in downtown Johannesburg in 1922. Smollen was MD and Santiago was director of Technical departments. The business moved to the Union Junction site in Germiston in 1939.
Scaw no longer makes steel ceilings and its business dealings extend far beyond the SouthAfrican borders. Today Scaw is an internationalgroup manufacturing a wide range of value added steel products for industries that are key to the global economy.
Animals were amongst the victims of the fires that sweptthrough Victoria, Australia, inFebruary. Lily, a baby Western Red Kangaroo, was orphaned bythe fires. She was rescued andplaced in one of eight humidicribs bought for infant marsupials with a small portion of the fundsdonated by Scaw to its Australian operations to help rebuild commu-nities devastated by the natural disaster

Scaw Harriers Athletic Club entered a record 52 runners in this year’s Comrandes Marathon, at 90 kms, the world’s greatest ultra-marathon. It takes place between Durban and Pietermaritzburg in South Africa every year. Of theScaw runners, six were ladies – a first for Scaw. “Our ath-letes made us proud by bringing home 49 medals: Seven silvers, 33 bronzes and nine Bill Rowans. Congratulations to Moses Mahlangu and Joseph Mokoena who have now completed more than 20 Comrades Marathons”, saysNelson Buthelezi, chairperson of the Scaw Running Cluband former winner of the Two Oceans Marathon.
Welcome to your new feature,Blast from the Past, which will
lish historical artifacts and nts as and when you, the employee, submit them to Scaw Junction. In other words, the existence of this feature will be dependent on factual andshed employee contributions, which we look forward to receiving at [email protected]. The idea for Blast from the Past came from Johan Burger, rations manager, Union Junction. He and his colleague, George Carter (who has been with the company for 39 years), have made this, the first, contri-on to the new feature.
Here’s something new: Blast from the Past
