Orkney – Vierfontein – Westleigh (Kroonstad)
This inter-provincial line is 102-km in length, providing a direct route to the Free State and serving an important maize producing agricultural area. Only 7-km of the route to the crossing of the Vaal River at Milner Bridge is in the North West Province. This section of line has recently been closed and uplifted, thus breaking the through route.
The possibility of re-opening the line has been investigated but no decision has been made at this time. A thorough long- term traffic scenario will have to be undertaken to this end.
