Thanks AC , glad you enjoyed it ,

On the Coober Pedy train I assume the tanks behind the locos are fuel tanks? Is the carriage for crew? How long is the journey 😮

[@johnphillips592]

They are fuel tanks and that is a crew car , the distance from Coober Pedy to Whyalla is about 620 Km

[@johnphillips592]

Thanks , took a bit of travelling but worth it .

[@jamieharmer5654]

Pacific National and Aurizon locos working together ?

[@johnphillips592]

Yes , I wondered the same when I saw that , don't know why .

[@ThePaulv12]

Stinkin' NRs?? The places they turn up LOL.

[@johnphillips592]

Don't know why they were on that train as Aurizon run those trains

[@bootsnall8996]

Due to PN losing a couple of contracts, they have surplus locos, so lease them out.@@johnphillips592

[@chrisszollos1543]

​@johnphillips592 id imagine it would have to be leased power, aurizon possibly didn't have the power around to run the service at the time.

Some Distributed power units are radio controlled, others are controlled via trainline power if the train is ECP equipt
