PREMIER SHILOWA LAUNCHES GAUTRAIN WITH A CAT [September 2006]
When Gauteng Premier Mbhazima Shilowa (pictured) turned the first sod for the Gautrain project in September, he used a Cat 950H wheel loader to do the honours, assisted by Barloworld Equipment operator trainer Falakhe Nene. The event, attended by more than 600 people, was held on the site of the future Gautrain Marlboro Station in Johannesburg. It marked the official start of construction of the section of the railway linking OR Tambo International Airport and Sandton. Barloworld Equipment has also received orders for more than 40 Cat construction machines together with service contracts from the Gautrain's main contractor, the Bombela Consortium.
