标题

First train to Johannesburg

描述

Afrikaans: Die eerste trein arriveer in Johannesburg. In 1886 is goud in die ZAR ontdek. Die regerings van die Kaapkolonie en Oranje-Vrystaat het ooreengekom dat die Kaapse Regeringspoorweë 'n spoorlyn deur die OVS tot in snelgroeiende Johannesburg sal bou en bedryf. Hierdie spoorlyn het Bloemfontein (hoofstad van die OVS) in 1890 bereik, en die spoorverbinding tussen Kaapstad en Johannesburg was in 1892 operasioneel.

English: In 1886 gold was discovered in the South African Republic (or Transvaal). The Cape government and the government of the Orange Free State (OFS) reached an agreement, by which the Cape Government Railways would build and operate a railway line, through the OFS, to the rapidly-growing city of Johannesburg. This line reached Bloemfontein (the capital of the OFS) in 1890, and the first trains operated from Cape Town to Johannesburg in 1892.
