[@johnphillips592]

Thanks , took a bit of travelling but worth it .

On the Coober Pedy train I assume the tanks behind the locos are fuel tanks? Is the carriage for crew? How long is the journey 😮

[@johnphillips592]

They are fuel tanks and that is a crew car , the distance from Coober Pedy to Whyalla is about 620 Km

Pacific National and Aurizon locos working together ?

[@johnphillips592]

Yes , I wondered the same when I saw that , don't know why .

[@ThePaulv12]

Stinkin' NRs?? The places they turn up LOL.

[@johnphillips592]

Don't know why they were on that train as Aurizon run those trains

[@bootsnall8996]

Due to PN losing a couple of contracts, they have surplus locos, so lease them out.@@johnphillips592

[@chrisszollos1543]

​@johnphillips592 id imagine it would have to be leased power, aurizon possibly didn't have the power around to run the service at the time.
