Batwings in the Southern Highlands

As per the ARTC TOC Waiver, PN have started trialling NHRH Hunter Valley batwing hoppers on the Tahmoor to Port Kembla coal service for Simec.  

Just the other day Unit Train 50 led by 8207 hauled 42 NHRH hoppers through Aylmerton for loading at Tahmoor Colliery.  

The NHRH rakes on the train were 28, 49, 10, 54, 25 and 36, totalling 42 hoppers.  

A bit unusual to see 120T gross hoppers in the highlands.  

Enjoy!
