In a scene more reminiscent of how some Qld sugar cane tramways cross QGR's main line to Cairns, Pichi Richi Railways NB30 is using a temporary 'bridge' straddling the main line to Perth at Stirling North. This was 1985 when restoration works to restore the line to operational condition right through to Port Augusta was underway. Necessity really is the mother of invention!

Built In Australia by Clyde Engineering for the Commonwealth Railways in 1970, numbered CL5, it was rebuilt in 1993 by Morrison Knudsen in Whyalla, South Australia, for then owner Australian National. Renumbered, I photographed CLF4 while I was travelling on the Indian Pacific to Adelaide during a brief stop in Broken Hill, New South Wales. It was waiting to follow us on a westbound transcontinental intermodal service - 22 April 1994. To the left a pair of Silverton Tramways ALCo DL531s wait their next duty shunting the local mines.

When there still regular general rail freight services between Adelaide and Broken Hill, Australian National ALCos 606/701 head one such service through Long Plains, north of Adelaide, early one Saturday morning in September 1987. V700_4_060

In fact chances are it almost certainly will be the last time a train treads the power station branch at Port Augusta. Former Victorian and Commonwealth Railway locomotives combine to remove 90 redundant coal hoppers that had been stored on the powers station balloon loop for the last six months. B61/S317/S302 are former Victorian (later V/line) units while GM10/GM27 were originally built for the Commonwealth Railways (later Australian National). After a variety of latter day owners they have all eventually ended up with Southern Shorthaul Railroad. The hoppers, previously used to haul coal to the power station from Leigh Creek, are heading to New South Wales for further use, some likely to be converted for grain traffic. IMG_4882_733
Scattered to the wind these days, all four of these units started their days with the Commonwealth Railways, later passing to Australian National. Recently repainted GM27 is active and now owned by Southern Shorthaul Railroad; GM19 is privately owned and up for sale, but is little more than a shell; GM1 is preserved and in the process of restoration and will soon head to Western Australia; CLP11 finished its working life with interstate operator Aurizon and is now owned by a locomotive broker - yours for about AU$250,000.

Under construction at Commonwealth Engineering at Granville in 1953, R1 2087 was to became the last tram built for the Sydney network. 2087 was number 100 of an original contract for 250 new R1 class saloon cars which was cut back following a decision to replace trams with buses. Alongside and behind 2087 also under construction are some of 1800 class rail motors for Queensland Railways.
