(VPL)311
Vlakteplaas station is Km 196,62 from Klipplaat, This 1970's layout had a small lever frame, with backstroke locking on the Home Signals, & Safety Bars. A standard practice of a 12 piece lever frame was used on these small stations on this section Klipplaat - Oudtshoorn. Telegraph Orders were in use up until the mid 1970's when Van Schoor Automatic working took over the whole section between Klipplaat & Oudtshoorn. By 1978, Vlakteplaas was closed for Trains Working & converted to a Siding / Interloop. By the 1992, the Van Schoor Automatic was removed, & Radio Working had taken over the whole section.
