Okay, the new, improved (and resurrected) Qld "Where is it?" thread...
This is taken at a reasonably remote spot, so i'll give a clue straight up... North West Qld...

...obviously not remote enough....
No more clues for you....
2810 waits with a loaded fertilizer train at Phosphate Hill loadout, as 9t90 sulphuric acid train proceeds to the acid sidings..

I'll scan something and post it tonight. If someone wants to jump in now I'll wait until later for my turn ...
The line there looks rather well used, for a branch which was seen as a bit of a white elephant and didn't carry much traffic for a long time.

I thought you would get it fairly quickly John!
Buffer stop at Forsayth, September 1993. Early morning just before departure back toward Cairns on mixed. What a trip that was!
Over to you
cheers,
Colin

Hehe.... here's why...
/me wonders if that is a time record for a correct answer on a "where is it" quiz.
Ok....
Taken in 1995... no clues this time...

David has it bang on.... "amuse you", he says.... at least it took *two* guesses to get this one. I might have to go back to posting buffer stops.
I didn't get the exact date, but it's October/November 1995. It was the last train of the day, (on the approach to Kunkala) with very few passengers, so no heads poking out of windows. Not good for the ARHS coffers, but as far as realism (is there anything in this photo to indicate 1995?) it was brilliant...
Over to you, David...
