Clearing a backlog of photos
Over the past two weeks or so I got a little behind in the uploading of photos: thankfully I have just caught up with them all!

- Wandering around Echuca station and the wharf line
- Metro Trains' new overhead inspection carriage IEV102 on the first tour of duty
- Trains, trams and buses around the inner-northern suburbs of Melbourne
- A look at the completed standard gauge platform at (...)
December 2011 trip to Adelaide: Part 2
A month or two ago I posted the first half of the photos from my December 2011 trip to Adelaide: you can now see the rest of them in part two.
First up are photos of TransAdelaide's suburban services, and the network in general:
- TransAdelaide around the Adelaide suburbs
- A wander around Adelaide Railway Station
- Looking out the front window at the railway stations around the suburbs
- Taking a closer look at the TransAdelaide fleet of railcars
The final bit is the loco hauled action, of Great Southern Rail services, (...)
December 2011 trip to Adelaide: Part 1
If you are wondering about the lack of photos uploaded over the past few weeks, it is because I went on a trip to Adelaide.
I have finished uploading the first round of photos, which are a bit of a mixed bag...

Something different: Hong Kong
If you have been following my photo uploads, then you might have noticed a big gap in late November / early December. That was because I was on holiday in Hong Kong!
Another backlog of updates
Over the past week or so I have been out chasing El Zorro grains up north.
On Friday July 9 I headed down to Geelong to see a down train depart, on the way I saw the up Mildura pass through Melbourne, a PN grain at North Geelong, and the GWA sleeper train for Adelaide at Inverleigh. The El Zorro locos were getting service at Geelong Loco, Y168 being taken off the train after suffering a hotbox on the trip from Tocumwal. The locos ended up getting stabled, leaving me with nothing else to see.
On the morning of Monday July 12 the El Zorro train was due to depart Geelong for Birchip, I headed out to St Arnaud to wait for it at sunrise, but nothing came though. It turned out the train was delayed at Warrenheip due to a (...)
Updates from South Australia
I have finally gotten around to uploading my photos from my recent week long trip to South Australia - it was the reason for the two weeks when to new photos appeared!
What did I get up to?
- I stayed at Mt Lofty station to see the trains go past, plus a side trip to Dry Creek to see some double stack trains.
- Visited the National Railway Museum at Port Adelaide.
- Had a trip or two on the TransAdelaide suburban network.
- Discovered how weird a bus on a concrete track is.
- Went for a ride on Steamranger between Goolwa and Victor Harbor, and visited their Mt Barker depot.
- Had a quick look at the (...)

New page for wagon photos
I have added a new page that just displays wagon and container images, sorted by when I have uploaded or updated them, not by when they were taken like the rest of the site. Before you could only go to the the list of albums by wagon type.
I usually upload wagon photos after my 'usual' train photos to avoid clogging up the recent upload page, plus I have a large backlog of photos I am currently uploading that would otherwise go unnoticed. You can visit the new page at:
