Rio Tinto Empty iron ore service Dampier 19/07/2024

Here we see a Rio Tinto empty iron ore train in the Pilbara entering 6 mile from Dampier
I don’t think at this location it’s auto haul
I am up here with members of the Batavia Miniature Railway to dismantle the 7.25 inch gauge miniature railway which fell into disuse many years ago. The track is being saved for re use in Geraldton.

Has a driver on board. Coming back to Never Smile from the dumpers at Dampier. The compressor cars will be taken off and put onto a loaded if there's one there or if not, put into a siding. The locos will go back onto the train and be set up for driverless operation.

I guessed that was the case
