Coleman Rail - Adelaide Metro Upgrades

Well here is the start of about 10 or so Blogs on South Australian trains.

I thought would start with the highlight of my trip - the Coleman rail Kenworth cab over and a small broad gauge ballast train.

The work train is loading along side Islington Workshops, and was operating around the Islington/Kilburn station areas.

The consist was Kenworth K100, AHBF 0007, and silver Ballast hopper (formerly NN 105).


The drvier was nice enough to smile for the photo!!
