MB4 Wagons

A few wagon and container photos from MB4 back on 17/2.

A piar of NRs sandwich a green G class on MB4.

QRRS built RQHY 7023 with a FCL container FJSV 429105.  All RQHY wagons have recently had work completed around the headstock and bolster area, as evident by the fresh paint.

RQHY 7024with a Sadleirs 48ft RCS 4823 container.

Breeze BRZC 10 on RQHY 7056.

Toll curtain sider 3NW968 on RQJW 21998.  Note the single new wheel under the far end.

BOC tanktainer OFSU 550233 with a load of Carbon Dioxide.  This single container is loaded on RRKY 2694 with aligned bogies and recently greased bearings (green caps).   

It has to be empty to be appreciated!  RRKY 4338 is believed to be the only skeletalised deck RM/RMX/RQKY/RRKY wagon around.  This modification was completed in 1990 by Australian National, and has been a regular on the east coast in recent times.    

With freshly repainted side, VQTY 563 carries Toll N4L460 curtain sider and a Cronos bulker container.

Enjoy!

Gemco PQGY on PN Services

Over the last few days I have noticed 3 groups of 10 PQGY container wagons running on jumbo coil services from Port Kembla to Melbourne.  They are fitted with the DMC or DMJU coil containers.  These wagons were previously used on the IMX mineral traffic in South Australia.

The last time I saw one of these was back in 2010 when they were new.  Enjoy!

North Queensland - Townsville

Here is the first of a few shots from the Townsville region.  Shame the weather was rather foul!

A 2800 class on a nickel service.

2333 on the Inlander, ready to depart Charters Towers.  I believe this was the origin of this service due to a major derailment near Stuart a few days earlier.

PN loaded service stabled at Woldston while track repairs were being conducted.  The storm rolled in quickly and the road got muddy very quickly!

The mid-train WDP unit on the PN train comprising of ROAF open wagons.
