Hi all

Finally sorting out all of my photos and uploading, presents a set of photos taken a few months ago of the Countrylink XPT operating out of the standard gauge Agents Siding in South Dynon yard. The operation required a bus transfer of passengers from Southern Cross Station through to Dynon, all of which was done very meticulously and professionally.

Thanks to the staff who accompanied me down to 'ground level' to get the shots of the train around the platform! Smile

Nice work Maikha. I really like the one taken which has a reflection of a spark in the background off one of the XPT windows....fantastic.

Thanks for the feedback, and apologies about the error. Was going by what the ARTC TAA had mentioned (Or to my recollection at the time).
