It was announced at APT (Keswick) that 6AS8 would be detouring via Cootamundra (due to trackwork in the Blue Mountains) before it left on Friday morning

Those last few shots of the freighters going through the worksites are definate pearlers!
I've noted all the trackwork that's been happening there the number of times I've driven past on the Hume Highway, and always curious if they'd let a few NRs through like that.... to which you've proven so!

Ben, Check the SWTT on ARTC's site for the times of trains. The best time I've found is the window from 6:30am to 10:30am on a saturday. You'll get at least one up and one down PacNat freighter.
I'm yet to check the site out on a weekday.

I'll see what I can find... so far these other two shots are the only worthy... have been practising the technique over the last few weeks and yesterdays came out great. A tripod is always used... but it's cheap and shake is sometimes a real mongrel.
Around 4 weeks ago... It looks like someone put their initials in the glue under the previous headboard. B.G.?
Around 2-3 weeks ago...

Maikha, after following your work for quite some time... I'm taking that comment straight to heart Thanks!

I nearly wet myself... quite the lot of swearing came out... I just couldn't believe that it stopped and let off passengers... I should've asked them where they lived. They called a cab and disappeared.
Gosh I love NRs
