Its been a long time since posting anything due to work commitments, however, I have been out capturing the movements for posting one day.
Last night I captured ( along with a mate ) a movement that was worthy of posting ASAP, being an impressive lash-up, being train #9093 on route to Woorinen / Piangil for loading, consisting of quintuple Streamliner Locomotives B80 + S317 + B75 + B76 + S312.

The first PN grain train into Bendigo in 2022 coasts through a misty Kangaroo Flat just after midnight on 05 02 2022, being train #9049, powered by G536 + XR555 + XR552 on route to Deniliquin. I believe this is the first PN grain train to visit Bendigo since 29 August 2021.

A last minute dash to Dysart on 27 01 2022 to capture the impressive lash-up of SSR's Train , being an empty grain train on route to Coolamon for loading.
The sun gods & signalers were not in my favor with the train delayed at Wallan for a while, allowing the storm clouds to arrive & hide the sun light. Captured in very dim lighting.
The freshly painted CLP9 in the Auscision Models Livery was dead attached on route to Cootamundra for completion of its restoration.
