This is still very much a work in progress, as I get sidetracked by various other interesting info. In a Eureka moment, I realised that many of the train stations above and below Main Reef Rd were actually serving mines in that particular area. I have a Map Studio Map of Gauteng Roads. The first train line was erected in 1893 at Crown Reef and 1896 Langlaagte Royal [which closed in Nov 1896!!!!] and then 1897 Wemmer GM. www.historywebsite.co.uk/genealogy/parker/locomotives The other sites which were really informative were on-the-rand.co.uk/joburgmap1936 and www.miningatlas.com.
