GUEST – James Holley, CEO of Traxtion

For over a century, South Africa’s rail network has been controlled by a single state operator but that era is finally coming to an end. In one of the largest private freight rail investments in South Africa’s history, Traxtion is gearing up to run trains on the country’s mainline network from late 2026.



Traxtion has secured a R3.4-billion rolling stock deal, adding 46 modernised Wabtec locomotives and a fleet of wagons to help reshape how freight moves across the economy.
