'Pom pom Bridge' where Trask built his sandbag wall still exists, though the Colenso-Ladysmith railway no longer runs across it
Enter these coordinates on Google Maps to see the spot
S28° 41' 43.54 E29° 50' 2.37

The past is not dead. In fact, it's not even past.

I should add that the correct spelling is Langverwacht Spruit; the meaning is 'long awaited stream'.
