XPTs at Yass Junction
A trip out to Cowra coincided with a couple of well-timed visits to Yass Junction Station to capture the XPT. First up was ST23, operated by XP2014 and XP2004, arriving in from Sydney and then departing up the grade towards Melbourne. Later on we returned to capture ST24, operated by XP2005 and XP2000, which arrived on to the platform bang on time, before departing towards Sydney.
Thanks to Mrs S - better known as the ‘armchair photographer’ - for her clip of yours truly behind the camera

It's very evident that the XPT is worked very hard isn't it? Dents, scratches, grime...it's still a beautiful train though.

      Yes - they are a significantly modified version of. You could say Australia took ‘inspiration’ from the HSTs. The XPTs has a different nose design and cab layout, a down-rated engine, larger cooling unit, differen suspension design, a shorter power cab length … these are the differences I can think of off the top of my head.
