Watco Grain 20241114 13 24 38 Pro

A train of empty grain wagons, operated by Watco, travelling South past DownsSteam. Photographed here while standing on the long end of DS's recently acquired old diesel, currently up on blocks with the wheelsets/bogies removed. One bogie frame without wheels can be seen in undercoat grey on the yellow stands. The wheels are being prepared for milling to ensure they are all the same size and are the correct shape. I've spent most of my recent days here investigating and photographing the electricals of this loco. November 2024. See PiP for another view.

HFF to my Ipernity viewers for 15/11/24 with multiple fences.

The diesels on this train were originally Qld rail, then sold to Aurizon when freight business was sold off, then Aurizon sold them to a rail freight business in South Africa and now Watco Australia has bought them to use in their grain and cattle train business in Qld based at Warwick.
