18:09 And here we have a locomotive in it's natural habitat trying to locate it's train. :D Great upload! Thanks for sharing! :D

Great stuff mate! Thanks for your quality work! :-) First time I have ever seen double stacking in Queensland!

[@CalvusTV]

Thankyou :-) They're planning to go even higher - studies underway into conventional double stacking on the Mt Isa line at the moment.

Awesome

[@GoTroppo69]

They finally picked up those phosphate wagons at Mingela eh? Any idea where that short rake at Charters came from? And that's great long shot of the trains snaking on/off the bridge at Macrossan - hadn't seen it from that angle before.

[@CalvusTV]

I'd say those wagons at Charters Towers have got issues like the Mingela wagons. I'm guessing they'll need a rescue at some point too. Got to admit, the Macrossan shot was just dumb luck, but I'll be keeping it in my playbook from now on :-)

Are watco up in Townsville

[@CalvusTV]

They have been, the grain wagons were imported through Townsville and the cattle wagons came from Townsville. Mackay based locos and crews came and got them.
