Having heard a freighter past my place, and needing to head towards Sydney for a meeting, I decided to go for a quick shot at Maldon on the way north.

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!

A few shots from Mittagong earlier in the week.

Enjoy!
