Zak Steel Showcases New 1:12 Secant Turnout for Southern Africa’s Rail Network
Join Railways Africa Trackside for an exclusive walk-through with Kim Wilson, Pieter Swart, and Jan Grobbelaar of Zak as we take a look at their recently launched 1:12 secant turnout. Built on concrete sleepers with cast-in shoulders and designed for 22-tonne axle loads, the turnout features a fully flexible switch blade made from 51 kg rail and a cast manganese rail-bound frog — tailored for Cape gauge networks across Southern Africa.
