Hot Metal...comin' thru...

A shot from back in 2010, when the RKHFs were freshly overhauled, and this particular one had a cleaned HOT METAL sign still attached from previous slab and billet workings.

 

Enjoy!

 

Chase South - Qube 1815

With a fine afternoon on the south, and the pleasing combo of 600/RL, it was about time for a south chase this summer - with a few good friends of course.

 

602/RL303 departing Goulburn.

New build for CFCLA, out of BRO Workshops is 60ft skel class CQJY.  About 60 are in service with Qube.

 

 

Another CQJY photo.

 

Earlier in the day, single NR55 led NY3, snapped here at Towrang.  The single NR on a very long load of empties struggled to maintain speed in various sections and slowed Qube 1815 in some parts (made for an easier chase).

 

Wheel carrier RZXY, with a load requiring reprofiling.

 

Enjoy!

 

Aylmerton Today

A few interesting movements today back the back door. 

 

First one was NY3 with a transfer of two TT locomotives which were involved in a hard hit up/collision a few weeks back.  TT117 and 104 are headed for Downer EDI Port Augusta for work.

 

A little later, Aurizon's BM7 came through with 6026 on a delivery run.

 

Enjoy
