Coogee ISO Tanks

Shot a block of Coogee 22T6 tanks on 7SP5 the other day.  All were coded ETCU which I think is Eurotainer.  Coogee do a lot of chemical transport in WA.














Enjoy!

Narrandera Graincorp Silos

I had a recent road trip and grabbed these drone shots at Graincorp Narrandera.  

The mushroom silo is a pretty standard A191 (19,050t capacity) and the 6 steel bins behind are an S132 type (2,200t per bin for a total of 13,200t)

Enjoy!

CLP9 Auscision and BGUYs

Thanks to some late running the day before, the SSR Grey train departed Maldon early Friday morning in perfect light for a shot at Bargo.  

CLP9 has only been in service for a few weeks, and has been leading this service on the down for a little while.  


Classic combo of CLP9, 48s34, CLF3, CLF2 on the Grey Train

CLP9, with a lot of roof detail.

The highest numbered brown coloured BGUY, 1554, fitted with ECP and Auto Park Brake.

Not on the same train but running on the south on the same day, were 12 new green coloured BGUYs on the Brown train set.

The highest numbered BGUY currently, 1578.

Enjoy!

A bit odd...

First time I have seen it, and that is long reo bar on a IFRU 48ft flatrack.  These are always on one of about 400 of the 40ft flatracks, as the 48ft types are very rare (maybe 10 or so) and are often carrying tarped loads.

Enjoy!

Primary Connect

The two of these are a favourite of mine.  Like a specially painted loco, these are two pretty rare containers in the Lindsay Transport fleet.  Of the 700 or so containers, there are only two.  This one being LTCD 4619 90 (the other is ..89).

Enjoy!

Return of the DRCX!

Haven't seen one of these for ages.  And boy, do they look crappy!

Originally Boxcar 48ft containers from the late 1990s, these got a repaint a few years back.

Here is DRCX 267 from Perth to Sydney.

Enjoy!

RZXY Wheel Carrier

Haven't seen many of these in recent years, so it was a bit of a surprise to score it on the back of MB4 on Sunday.  

They looked like worn out wheels, possibly heading for Maintrain in Sydney.  These could have been picked up en route at Cootamundra or travelled from Melbourne. 

This was was RZXY 2181 in original CR red.

Enjoy!
