Busy Burradoo

Friday arvo saw a plethora of trains at Burradoo, thanks to the Tahmoor Coalie and it's very slow running.  4 trains in 33 minutes, all in beautiful light.
 
8231 leading the loaded coalie pas the mostly bare trees at Burradoo.
 
Right behind was BM4 with a pair of NRs.
 
The pass was close to on time - maybe a few minutes late into Mossy.
 
Bringing up the rear was NY3, with an NR/NR/AN combo.
 
Enjoy!
