Happy New Year

Firstly, Happy New Year to one and all.  2014 has been a busy year, but I have somehow managed to Blog better than one Blog every five days on average.

To my fellow bloggers, keep the posts coming in 2015!

Here is my final shot for 2014.  It was taken a few weeks back and is of a rare tank which has eluded me for some time.

40ft Tank (quite rare) EXFU 144708 is used on the Tarago garbage train to transfer liquids for waste disposal, similar to the grey containers that transfer solid waste.

The tank is a 40T6 type and has a Gross of 34,000kg and a payload of 29,700kg.  It is quite a small diameter.

It was loaded onto regular garbo wagon NQHX 14496.

Enjoy, and Happy New Year - 2015!

Queensland Rail EMUs

Spent a morning at both Morayfield and Narangba in the north of Brisbane.

There was a pretty good mix of different suburban and interurban sets, including ICE set 151, which has quite a distinctive front end.  

Enjoy!

The unusual site of blue skies led me out trackside this morning, capturing Aurizon 7MB7.
