This time I'm backing-up after each session.
(It's so easy to be wise in hindsight, isn't it? )A few pix follow.......
This shot is what it's all about: The middle of a hot, dry summer's day somewhere near Lithgow, some scraggy gum trees, the old standard G3 goods shed, and a single 80-Class hauling about 20 empty hoppers on the way to Lidsdale colliery.
The wide, open spaces of the Midwest Slopes & Plains.
Somewhere, anywhere on the Main Southern Line.
Passing a small farm (obviously not under drought conditions!). The typical cypress/pine windbreaks can be seen on the ridgelines and there's even the ubiquitous Poplar trees in full summer foliage.
Same farm, different angle. The 80 starts to notch up as the grade into the Blue Mts. steepens.Work continues - albeit with now pain's-taking slowness! Regards,
Bruce.
