1910 – 1959

The Bechuanaland Railway line was operated by the Cape Government, which was subsequently amalgamated into the South African Railways in 1910 and this operational arrangement continued until 1959.

At the end of 1959, the South African Railways purchased the section of the line from Vryburg to Ramatlabama from Rhodesia Railways, took over the operation of the line from Bulawayo to Mahalapye, which became the handover station for traffic and train crew changeover point between South African Railways and Rhodesia Railways.
