25G1 Shipping Boxes

Very rare beasts are shipping containers in a 25G1 configuration.  Plenty in domestic traffic which these probably are in also, considering they have been on MB4 services.

Still yet to see a shipping line owned 25G1 container, as they are all 22G1 type.  Appears that CAI may be leasing containers domestically in Australia.

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.

Linfox Patch Jobs

With Linfox taking over Aurizon intermodal, there are now some patched containers getting around.  These are noticeable as the Linfox logo is on a red background.  All containers are keeping their former codes and numbers.  Here are two I shot last week.

NR18 - New Ghan Repaint

NR18 made a trip to Brissy and back last week.  Here is it heading north and returning south.  It was supposed to lead ex Brissy but I believe it got turned in Sydney.

Brand New Blenners Reefer

I saw one of these a few weeks back from my office window, but didn't have the time to chase it.  Thankfully another passed by today on BM4.  

This is a new 46'6 Reefer marked for Blenners Transport.  The box is BTR 220035.
