I will do my best to catch it going out on Saturday. Friday is never good, it sort of shows up at a different time each week, anything from 2 hours early to 8 hours late.

And those nasty heat buckles get an extra hour to reek havoc on train speeds too, I bet

Here are photo's Stars on 36 and Red #3 departing Darwin yesterday.
The long distance shots were taken from a hill about 1km from the line and I have cropped them a bit.

Thanks for sharing the pics shacks.
Question for you on the last two shots.
The roadwork, is that where the Truck Checking/Weighing station was in the middle of the road?
And what are they doing to it now?

It has been there 10 years I belive. If you stand at the gate of the railyards and look south it is up on the hill at the back.
