    Fly shunting

    Australian National 800 class loco no.805 indulges in a spot of fly shunting (loco and wagons heading towards the photographer) at Gillman Yard, Port Adelaide in July 1987.

    Powered by a 6SRKT prime mover, 805 was originally built in 1957 by English Electric at their Rocklea plant in Brisbane for the South Australian Railways.

    Ownership was transferred to Australian National in March 1978. It was withdrawn in October 1991 and sent to SimsMetal for scrapping three years later.
