This high-speed passenger train was built to offer an alternative to road transport, with the aim of relieving the traffic congestion between Johannesburg and Pretoria, and to expand the transport system. At the time of its construction, it was the largest public-private partnership in Africa. Linking private enterprise and government in a project designed to become the central hub of a future integrated transport project for South Africa ’s commercial heart, the Gautrain is the largest Public Private Partnership (PPP) yet launched in South Africa. With a project value of about R20 billion, the Gautrain project led by the Gauteng Provincial Government (GPG) has been structured to ensure that the government and the concessionaire, the Bombela International Consortium, operate within a strict set of financial and time parameters. The financial parameters are designed to take account of the risk associated with South Africa ’s fluctuating macro economic parameters. The careful structuring of the responsibilities and risk allocation of all the parties in the PPP will ensure that the Gautrain will be developed within the originally negotiated cost, ensuring that taxpayers funds are optimally utilized and the threat of huge financial ‘over-runs’ are avoided. Diesel Electric In 2012 a new theme was introduced on the Sterling Silver coin series, called "Trains of South Africa", In 2013 the Diesel Electric was introduced into the series "Trains of South Africa". The diesel electric featured on these coins represent different eras in South Africa's rail history. The Class 35-200 features on the 2½ cent Tickey and the Class 43-000 on the R2 Crown. South African Railways (S A R) contracted both General Motors (G M) and General Electric (G E) to supply their respective standard Class 35 models that were modified for S A R service. The main objective was to replace the steam locomotives working on the branch lines in the 1970's. ------------------------------------- |
