2nd class coach 2123 is an E-13 built in 1938 in Bloemfontein. She is the way I remember coaches in my early days of rail travel. Wood, leather, a solid feel about her, and a smell of her own. Sadly, while 2123 now smells of rot and mildew, she is surprisingly intact and a gem well worth seeing just for the experience. Unfortunately the wet weather we had in early August 2009 has shown that she is no longer watertight, and with all the open windows she is well on her way to ruin. The vandals have also started removing her fittings. She is however likely to live to see another day as she is due to be moved to Reefsteamers when Sanrasm South Site is cleared.
