Fantastic video, very informative. Whilst I knew some information, there were bits I still learned new so well done. The pipeline was Charles Yelverton O’Conner’s dream project and when they turned it on, the water didn’t come out. All those years of work made him so depressed that he committed suicide. A couple of days after, the water came through. There are several pumping stations along the route so there was a delay in how long the water took to get to its destination. Sadly these MRL services don’t run through to Kwinana anymore. They now run through to Esperance and are mixed in with Aurizon AC, ACB, ACC class locomotives which are also C44ACis. NRs still occasionally appear too.
Thank you! Interesting info on Charles, i wasn't aware of. I did notice they weren't running to Kwinana anymore when I was doing my research this year. I did read somewhere recently that these trains will all be operated by Aurizon and no more PN locos to be seen. I'm not sure how true that is?

*Except the Aurizon AC class which is a C43ACi. 😸

8:54 - 10:38 * The service is actually heading east, not west! Being from NSW, I was on auto pilot while editing, as empty trains head west in NSW. *
🎉
How about some update from 5year back?
An update from 5 year back? I'm not sure I understand, sorry.
