  5. In your...hood?

    In your...hood?

    Do end-cab switchers have a "face," per se? The hood end is invariably the front, but that makes for a face that would make Jimmy Durante envious. San Francisco Belt Alco S-2's #49 (ex-23) and 25 had long been fixtures at San Francisco's Golden Gate Railroad Museum, but the units...

    Red terror

    Back in 1989, from memory I had signed off duty just in time to dash out and shoot the eastbound passenger job WL86 climbing through Sodwalls to the top of the Great Dividing Range. Red terror scheme 4458 hauls the motley collection of non-air con carriages that typified the NSW country...

  10. North Mail

    North Mail

    Back in 1988, armed with an employee rail pass, I decided to ride the North Mail to Tenterfield. The night running mail trains were shortly to vanish from the NSW rail scene. Sadly, this scene is now long gone to the history books. Two aussie alco locomotives, wooden and steel bodied...

    Creak and groan

    I used to like working to Mudgee, except during winter time, when you had to fight with your mate for the handful of hot water bottles at the old barracks. Here you see venerable 4484 (DL500B) in red terror scheme about to tread cautiously over the old wooden trestle, tugging just a few empty...

    Put away for the Rocket

    Back when I actually enjoyed going to work, we were still government and proud, and tradition still pervaded the NSW rail scene, I regularly carried the camera in my work bag.

    GM's Galore

    Spending a day around Picton NSW on the short south back in 1984 did prove successful. This particular shot taken very hastily. The 421 class were about to be withdrawn from service. Two AJ16C 421 class with a J26C 422 class teamed up on this wheatie. Ok, while they ain't Alcos, the blood did...
