PN empty steel 5NY3 cross Railfirst Bemax empty ore at Yunta feb 16 2024

Whilst invading South Aus recently I encountered a pair of Railfirst EL class parked in the loop at Yunta. Knowing that the PN empty steel job 5NY3 was behind me, I pulled up to get the cross. NR things 27 and 37 on the front of the empty steel and ELs 53 and 54 on the front of what I have been told is the empty minerals to the Bemax siding just to the west of Broken Hill. Featuring the pink ore boxes. It had been a long time since I was last in that region and train activity is now woeful compared to the good ole days. However, the pair of EL class did enthuse me to fetch out the video camera.

Hartley Vale being between Bell and Mount Victoria, and 133 kms west of Sydney NSW. Empty Hartley Vale coalies would work west to Clarence colliery balloon loop to swing, then return to Hartley Vale.

มุมมอง 449ปีที่แล้ว

G'day Martin, I went scrounging for my 1992 video footage featuring the STA Glenelg trams. I only shot some brief clips, but did capture them with the other material shot during my visit in may 1992. I have now edited the clips into a video file and will upload it to youtube. I doubt that I could stomach battling the motorists driving trams along streets. It was bad enough encountering idiots a...

Hunting through my video footage shot in 1999, I found some South of the Border stuff. Yes, when you set foot south of the Mighty Murray you encountered EMD ear ache things. I have never been a fan of EMD ear ache things. But, I hafta say that at least the West Coast mob attempted to keep their locos in good condition. S 302 departs Colac with the evening Warrnambool pas on 14 november 1999. An...

3801 the Jolly Green Giant makes a visit to the Central West, performing shuttles from Bathurst during some miserable winter weather. I managed to shoot some footage over the four days that it was here. Sleet, pea souper fog and some sunshine providing different conditions to enjoy that magnificent sound. 3801 now back to the full 245 psi boiler pressure.

With the rumour of dinky toys on the Rylstone Rocket, I had to grab the camera gear. A sunny day but with a frigid breeze. I waited and waited, the tour running LATE. Unfortunately, the train also departed Rylstone LATE for the return. My camera battery getting very low, finally ran out of puff while the locos were remarshalled at Clandulla. The last time that I had taken a photo of a train at ...

The LVR wings, wheels and wine tour 8L10 was due to appear around midday, but ran late so the sun had gone over. I did not bother with video due to the slow train speed. Upon finding a pair of dinky toy aussie alcos here to work a rail set job west, I did go grab the video camera. Unfortunately, the rail set also ran LATE, thumping up Tumulla (1 in 40) after sunset. While waiting, the eastbound...

Wonky weather but worth the effort

Having discovered that a rail set job would depart Bathurst on march 10, I decided to take a hoof down to the yard and see what motive power was loitering. An Aussie Alco 44206 being one of the pair caused me to sprint home to charge up the camera batteries. Wonky weather, but it was worth the effort. Then on march 14, a pair of EMD nose jobs, 42103 and 4204, were to rattle through on an hyster...
