A Branch Line Grain Train?

A single 48 on five BGKF coverted grain wagons at Lithgow, being prepared for grain service in northern NSW.

Enjoy!

Aggregate Train 2291

NR55 on train 2291, and NR73 on the tail, passing between Baro and Yanderra.

The train had delivered a load of aggregate from Boral's Peppertree quarry at Marulan, to the distribution centre at Maldon.

Clinker Service

Boral's clinker train operated by PN with 8133 and a good length rake of NPEF hoppers.  

8133 on service 2235 between Bargo and Yanderra.

8133 with a dirty front number and blue cab roof.

B end of NPEF 82003.  The only wagon with PN logos.

A end of NPEF 82010.

While most of the bogies under these wagons are XLA type bogies, there are a handful of National XLB and XGC type bogies also fitted, giving a bit more variety to the modellers.

Enjoy!

GL Hybrid Livery

After being painted in Freightliner livery and then off lease a few years later, CFCLA decided to tastefully patch GL111 to give it a hybrid Freightliner/CF livery.  

I think it looks great on the GL.

Enjoy!

Test Bogie

Some test equipment fitted to a bogie under CQWY 5033.

Braemar Sleeper Train

Last week PN ran a sleeper train to Braemar for the first time in a number of years.  The event was captured at Mittagong Jucntion, Railway Terrace and Braemar Avenue.  The train comprised of around 15 RDTF concrete sleeper wagons.

SSR Transfer

SSR ran transfer #3778 from Goulburn to Lithgow earlier this week with 4904 and 48s34, hauling 10 NHKF coal hopers and a CQWY well wagon pair.

The NHKFs are being coverted to grain wagons and the CQWY was for a test program later in April.

Enjoy!

ARHS Transfer

A nice transfer job on the 1st April from Canberra to Thirlmere.

4520 leading 4490 and a long string of ARHS passenger cars at Mittagong.

Enjoy!

Snapped this today on 1311 heading south.

This box is in the new merger livery between COSCO and China Shipping.   The box is a bright blue with COSCO Shipping as the logo.

The box codes are CSNU, and this 45G1 type is 624648-1.
