AB1535 on a rail train at Mingenew crossing AURIZON grain trains

Ex AURIZON AB class diesel loco hauls 2RT1 and heads north to drop rail in the Mingenew Dongara section.
It then stables overnight before passing us on 3G52 with the empty 3RT2 heading back south
Once clear then we can start loading 3G52

Amazing. I was stationed at Three Springs and Geraldton from 1985-91. The R and RA class were the main workhorses then. We would see the odd AB and A. Once in a blue moon a DA class would show. Then around 1990 the first of the P class made its grand entrance. They were a game changer. Awfully slow to develop power but pulled like a dog when wound up. I learnt my craft on R’s and RA’s. Glad I did. Thanks for the memories.

yep, I love the P class. I got to have a go with the AB’s and DAZ’s when I first got here on the upgrade trains to Morowa, and unfortunately the DFZ’s lol.
