Mittagong in Autumn

Managed to get a sunny at Mittagong Junction last week with full autumn colours and a strange combo on MB4

8167 leading NR/G/NR around the curve at Mittagong Junction


G542 looking pretty sad.

An ARTC hi-rail doing a track inspection on the down.

Late on the same day, double QBXs haul the empty VISY paper train to Harefield.

Mittagong Bridge

A few shots from Good Friday at the Mittagong Station foot bridge.

An interesting combo on NY3 - NR86/NR84/8033.

8033 has had a very recent bath and looked brilliant.

BM4 also had an interesting combo on NR/NR/AN, with the leading two NRs elephant style.

Endeavour 2802/2852 has been running around a lot lately.  Here is a trailing shot of it departing Mittagong station.

Enjoy!

Qube Gensets

Just realised that I have posted any LQAY genset photos as yet.  These run on 1311/3112, keep reefer containers full of meat chilled before they get to port for shipping overseas.  Each genset normally powers around 15 containers per train.

The backside of a genset on a PCIU 22P3.


The genset plugs into cabling on a set of wagons.  Each wagon has 3 junction boxes with outlets for the containers to plug into for power.

Fletchers via the South

Sunny days and interesting trains have been a rarity around my place in recent weeks.  Wednesday was an exception with the Fletchers coming via the south due to a track closure at Glenbrook in the Blue Mountains.  

Triple FIEs rounding Mittagong Junction.

Approaching Bargo River

This was an interesting one.  CMA CGM with ANL markings.  They are the same shipping line these days.  The box is CGMU 297632-9 and is a 22R1 reefer.

A fresh ONE 45R1 reefer.  This is a Seacube box, SZLU 956494-0.

Enjoy!
