The Monster Coal Trains of the Hunter Valley NSW - Part 1

Part one of a trilogy of videos from the Hunter Valley in New South Wales, covering the 10,000 ton coal trains that transport coal from the huge open cast mines of NSW to the Port of Newcastle for export.
This part covers days one and two, from Beresfield, Belford, Singleton and Muswellbrook. As all the coal trains are bound for the same location, just loco numbers are given here.
Also includes a few other workings from the same area, such as the NSW XPTs, and grain trains.

Hi mate. I recently started a new Flickr page (same login cmeonthemove) but haven't uploaded much to it yet. I really need to get round to that.

There's this thing about "counting sheeps" that supposedly helps you fall asleep... ;-)

Have they got 93 classes now, cool

[@ducky_the_helper]

They've had 93s for nearly 10 years the four on IM are going to coal now

[@TheRealMaturecheese]

I counted either 82 or 83. Nothing unusual about that. In Liberia there used to be 90 car iron ore trains with three locos pulling and I not sure but I think there may have even been 120 car trains.

[@jamieharmer5654]

Western Australia has iron trains 220 wagons long....and a one off record braking iron ore train consisting of 8 6000HP locomotives and 682 wagons

These would be considered toys in WA 😅
