RAND Big Freeze

 While most RNAD reefers are coded as RAND with a three digit number, this one was coded as RBFU (Rand Big Freeze) with the standard shipping 6 digit number, being 466001 (as it is a 46'6" unit).

This was on BM7 earlier this week.  The big logo looks good!

Enjoy!

 

 

A few photos of the 'Garbo' 2122, from earlier in the week.  This is a summer time train, with these shots at Bargo taken around 1915hrs.

A few favourites of mine, from FCL (now a Linfox company) 

 

The world's longest container at 19m!!

Enjoy!

Qube 1863

A few photos south of Goulburn from 30/12/13.  Qube 1863 was diverted via the south and headed to Dubbo.

 

A nice bright and colourful combo of RL301/1106/GL109 made for pleasant photography.

Westons 1835

 

A few photos of Weston Milling service 1835 running via the south on 30/12/13, with a classic clean combo of 8160 and X48.

 

Departing Goulburn.

Formerly a VHGY, VHAF 248 is relatively clean but rather patchy with VR yellow ends and roof, Freight Australia sides, and a Pacific National logo.  Also of interest is the 70T Ride Control bogies fitted (or rather, not removed when the code changed).  Historically, the VHAF fleet were fitted with 50T bogies (VXSC).

 

A long time Westons wagon, VHAF 566 still shows the scars of operating in the Sydney metropolitan area, and in particular Rozelle (when it was still open).  Note the 50T bogies.

 

There are a few blow ins on the rake these days.  Three NGWFs were in the consist of 22.  This one being 40024.

 

A side on portrait of X48, with the rather unique 'stars' livery.

 

Enjoy!

22R1 ISO Reefers

A few reefer shots of 22R1 (20ft) containers from 8164 the other day.  Export reefers are not all that common on the main south, and 8164 normally travels into Botany via the west.

Triple Maersk boxes, with reefers at eachg end of this LQAY wagon.  Containers are MAEU 567676, MRIU or MRKU dry box, and Maersk Sealand reefer MWCU 563373.

 

Another LQAY with reefers on each end.  Cronos CRSU 500968, MRIU dry box, and a Carlisle CRLU 313321.
