BHPBIO

SD70ACe 4341 "Oroville" and CM40-8M 5649 "Pohang" crawl up the 0.57% ruling grade from Yandi to the summit at M299km. The new tracks and crossover at the M301.7 are part of the BHPBIO's duplication project from Bing (20km) to Yandi (M306)
Beautiful, albiet desolate landscape. I may be asking an obvious question, but is it pretty sparesely populated in that area?
 
Not much around the place apart from mining and constructions camps. The location is 2239'40.84"S 119 5'30.72"E if you want to have a look on Google Earth. The camp I am in is about 50km away and houses 350 people. There are 3 camps around Yandi (10~15km away), perhaps 2000 people in total.

The photo does not do justice to the beauty of the place.
 
Well, I've certainly been enjoying all the photos you've been posting from here and I do look forward to seeing more.
