So Perth sends Melbourne new vehicles? I thought it was the other way around

[@shiftpigrail]

Yes, interesting. New Hino trucks going east. And also some type of SUV but I have not been able to determine what brand they are...

[@ACDZ123]

@shiftpigrail spose they come in through Fremantle port but I thought Japan is closer to East coast 🤔

[@shiftpigrail]

I guess so, I thought Hino headquarters for Australia was Sydney, dunno. Some of the other new vehicles are Isuzu SUV's and Merc's...

[@Opinionatedguy1989]

What's with the passenger car on the head end? Crew quarters for extended run crews?

[@shiftpigrail]

Yes, relay working crews operate between Parkeston and Spencer Junction [Port Augusta] for Pacific National crews.
SCT operate between Adelaide and Perth with relay working.
The Tronox operates relay between Parkeston and Broken Hill.
And Aurizon between Parkeston and Spencer Junction, I think.
