They get around!

Often a waiting game for photographers too. lost track of the number of times I've waited for a train that I thought was coming but it didn't turn up. It's not like you can hide on a railway. lol

I don't know for sure, but I don't think Ebeneezer was part of the plan today. I was only at Sherwood. Would have been very frustrating making the trip out there when nothing came.

Thanks for the info mate. Great video.

Yes 41 hoppers is max train length on those trains, due to passing loop lengths.

Sorry Felipe, I've been away without internet access. I believe they ran a few days while I was away, but I don't know if any more training runs are planned.

They took it (1079) out there dry a few weeks ago to turn it around while the Ipswich turntable is out of action.

Likewise and thanks.

They are transporting cut sugarcane sticks. Taking them to sugar mill where they will be crushed and juice extracted.

Thanks Tom.

Thanks Tom. Much appreciated.

Yes I think they've been doing it more frequently during Cross River rail construction.

Possibly.

Thanks Colin. Missed the PN train at Sherwood due to my impatience. Another 5 minutes there and I would have been able to video it.

Thankyou Doodle64123

That crossover gets a fair bit of work Gregg. I thought you'd be familiar with those tracks.

yes I think I only counted 6 containers on the front of the train. It is called a sea train as it travels from and inland hub at Emerald to the port of Brisbane. It's been running for over a year now and brings containerized local grain and produce to the sea port. Linfox does similar with containerised freight to north Queensland using Aurizon trains. They run to a timetable and sometime don't have anywhere near a full load.

Thanks for that.

Thanks Col.

It was nearing the end of it's trip.

Hi Elijah, Spring Bluff is a passing loop. the track either side of it is a single track. So trains traveling in opposite directions, meet here to pass each other. From the station you can't see where the two tracks join to become one. Once the train coming in the opposite direction has cleared the single track, the points change so this train can proceed onto the clear track.

Thanks John.
