Just a bit of info on that last loco ( the little shunter D7 )

That loco was actually a mainline coal haulage loco between Wongawilli,Kemira & Nebo Collieries & the Port Kembla Steel Works.

I can remember watching it loading under the Wongawilli bins as a kid.

Passing Headington Tank

Across the Road

Pausing for some after hours switching

A unique opportunity. A 10 car freight train, all aired up with the brakes tested and working at the Colorado Railroad Museum, sadly we had several passenger cars on the tracks, so we could not take the train around a few times (oh man we wanted to badly!)

Two Hot engines in the Roundhouse after a long day

Wich shots? They were all takin on little dinky digital cameras of difrent makers and such. Point out a specific picture and I will try to remember. The rails ate those two cameras I used. I have a new one that I have yet to upload pics from.

 

[mikemike]

probably just your resolution level for the images. i'm a phot-og and i guess you answered my question. it was an accident.
