"Heavy Hauler"...

Graham is a friend and fellow happy camper..we went down to the tocumwal station to have a look at this train and low and behold the engineer Darryl invited us both up into the cab for a tour...this train consists of three diesel/electric locomotives and a kilometer long load of freight weighing 3000tons..a real heavy hauler...thanks Darryl ...

Good on Darryl. I like your POV in this. It highlights the massiveness and power of this steel beast. Makes those prime movers look tiny.

[Karen B.]

Very decent of Darryl, to give you a guided tour, you were in the right place at the right time. Great information & pov.

[Denise Wood]

That's massive!! You were certainly in the right place at the right time. Terrific photo :)

Luck you John. Good shot

[Kerry McCarthy]

Great perspective John. How lucky to get the tour! Love the colors.

[Lynne Hart]

Oh my gosh how nice of Darryl to take the time to show you both round. That train really is a heavy hauler and at 1kilometer long it is very long as well. Nice capture of this monster train.

John, if I was to take a selfie right now, the resulting photo would show me GREEN,...with envy. Great stuff!
