Well done 4464, some fantastic shots there. I often neglect to go trackside on the main south on Mondays as for one I work most Mondays and two, the amount of traffic, but you have managed to get plenty of good photos. Especially that southbound wheatie.
Well done. Looking forward to more

Great work on those shots! I really liked the shots of the 81 on the clinker train, as well as the shots of the two mineral trains crossing at Moss Vale! I must try that photospot!

Enjoyed the shot of 44211 at Thirlmere and a few of the others. How come that was out? The Tuscan Livery certainly looks good on a 442 or 80 class - makes me want to head to Werris Creek to foam over 80s in that livery 
Where exactly was the 8103 at Yerrinbool shot taken from? Looks like a good vantage point.

Nice pics 4464. That was heaps of PN livered NRs you got. 
Was 3642 undergoing a load test, or just being shunted around?

Thanks, actually in my opinion Monday's are the quietest day, other days you also get QRN thrown in the mix ,but there is still enough to keep me busy!

Thanks! The shot of 8103 was taken at the second overbridge (Heading South) on Old Hume Hwy between Yerrinbool and Alpine. I will let you figure out where I was when you make the trip! (Cant say anything more!)

Yeah, it is a pretty good spot.
What time 2134 that run?
Perhaps it might run via robertson on sunday, as a number of trains are apparently going to be diverted via the Illawarra Escarpment.

thanks TE2815, what about cement trains on sundays?
also 4464, I think the thread ought to be titled 'Mondays in July on the Main South are bloody freezing. It certainly has been so at Moss Vale High School.

Lots of good shots there (as usual), but there is one real favourite in there - "NR10-NR32 9227 Werai"
