I’ll never understand the use of one locomotive on such a challenging route.
Yes,I sometimes see two but not on every train.
I rode this route in my youth so long ago that steam was used beyond Kalgoorlie,made for many memories.

One locomotive can adequately run the timetable with a single consist.As the train only runs once a week it is usually a double consist, which requires two locomotives to run the timetable between Sydney and Parkes, and one locomotive from Parkes onwards.
