How to avoid Mondayitis

With a spotless day, plenty of trains around, and no commitments after lunch, I managed to photograph 6 different train in the Southern Highlands  (PS7, PW4, 2134, NP3, LS04, BM7). 

Here is the first of 6 installments.

 Triple 'Star' NRs on PS7

 Pretty uncommon these days - Large logoed Macfield 48ft container.

 I remember when these were white - not now!  A northline 48ft curtain sided container.

Former FCL, now SCF 48ft container.  Note the original style flat planel ends. 

A new SCFU reefer container.
