The first railway line connected Bloemfontein to Cape Town in 1890, resulting in a centrally located station site on the corner of Maitland and Harvey streets, east of Kings Park. Centrally located in both the city and the nation, in March 1900 at the Battle of Paardeberg during the Second Boer War, the station became a major point of strategic fighting between the Boers and the British Army, led by General Roberts.[1] The modern station is served by Shosholoza Meyl inter-city trains connecting it to Johannesburg, Port Elizabeth and East London six times a week; Kimberley twice weekly; and Durban and Cape Town once weekly. The industrial area, Hamilton, is situated to the south of the city and generates most of the stations freight traffic. During 2005-2006 over 90,000 tons of beer was received, dispatched from Rosslyn, Gauteng; 56,998 tons of fuel from East London, and 8,872 tons from Durban; and 5,000 tonnes of coal.[2] Services Preceding station   Shosholoza Meyl   Following station Springfontein towards Port Elizabeth Port Elizabeth–Johannesburg Tourist class trains Virginia towards Johannesburg Port Elizabeth–Johannesburg Economy class trains Brandfort towards Johannesburg Springfontein towards East London East London–Johannesburg Kimberley towards Cape Town Cape Town–Durban Tourist class trains Kroonstad towards Durban Cape Town–Durban Economy class trains Brandfort towards Durban Kimberley towards Johannesburg Johannesburg–Kimberley–Bloemfontein Terminus References ^ "BRITISH CAVALRY AT BLOEMFONTEIN".
