Do queensland railways trains operate on th right hand side unlike the roads?

 

[georgem2007]

or on the left (he same as the roads!)

 

[Ghostryder]

Except outside metropolitan areas (built-up) where they revert back to right hand side running with block limit boards (often DTC (Direct Train Control)). Or in some places (Toowoomba/North Coast Line) they have (normally) two aspect signalling with full CTC services.

Hamersley in progress

Here is a shot of my Hamersley Iron Dash 9 leaving Dampier for the mines in the Hamersley Ranges.



This one is the Pilbara Dash 9 at the Robe overpass heading for Dampier while a Robe coal train passes overhead.



If anyone is interested, I have asked for permission to upload the Hamersley Iron Dash 9, but have not received an answer to my email. I will also ask permission to upload the Robe line with the Hamersley line added when I finish it.

Cheers,

Enjoy

44212 and 4805 combined to haul empty grain out of Wadalbavale Mill siding towards Wattle Creek.



4805 shunts the MHG out of the siding before going to pick up the empty grain hoppers. In the meantime, 44212 warms up in the background.



4805 having returned with the train, the crew move over to the 442 and prepare to couple up for the long slog to Wattle Creek.



Having crossed 401 with a down passenger train at Lambley, again the 442 is put into the loop at Karrah Bay, this time to cross 4808 with a Wadalbavale Fuel. Meanwhile, 401 has gone to Wadalbavale and has started back towards Wattle Creek, and will cross this fuel train at Halley River.

Redid the fuel siding at Wadalbavale to suit increased traffic, screenshots soon . I'm mostly practicing my session rules and triggers and whatnot. Have done some examination of the "out of the box" sessions on this layout, so it's a good practice run .

Very impressive both of you but Raichase I have some concerns about the absence of "runners" or "spacers" on your tank train. Over here fuel tankers could not be assembled immediately behind a loco and often an old box wagon or two of some kind was inserted between them. I guess having the tanks on the loco means you have something to throw your cigarette butts into! :hehe:

Incidentally I'm intrigued by the MHG van which as well as general goods can also carry passengers. Are they for freight trains or passenger trains?

MHG's were for a mixed goods. freight branch line trains not for passenger trains as suck also used on stock movements when stockman or drovers travelled with live stock.

Spacer wagons were not common in NSW either on a mixed or full rake fuel train. An S match track was some times used but just to allow some steamers with link couplers to match to auto coupler tanks cars, that were introduced on most tank cars early in the change from screwlink to auto couplers.

Crosses are common at Dunheved and today is no different.
Two red rattlers cross on their respective trains while 7004 shunts the munitions branch.

[S301]

Went down to Wadalbavale today, only to find Zs301 sitting with a short up goods service. Went and asked the driver when he was due to depart, which was about 10 minutes from when I arrived. I then set off, with a friend, to the north of Wadalbavale to take some photos of the train. I waited at the open area just north of the Dairy CoOp, whilst my friend waited at one of the bridges further north (about bridge 3 from Wadalbavale). Was surprised to see what was added to the train after I took the first photo...

Zs301 simmers in the yard prior to departure.

Zs301 is opened up for the run out from Wadalbavale.

Zs301 with train crosses one of the many bridges to the north of Wadalbavale.
