NR 25 with the Indian Pacific, ex East Perth Terminal, is heading east to Adelaide & Sydney. 9.6.204

Video commences at Midland, in the car parking area opposite the heritage listed Western Australia Government Railways Workshops.
In view is the recently installed security fence. barricading off a section of public parking area. This is due to the continuing construction works, associated with the new MIidland Train Station Precint being built. The new terminus for Midland line suburban trains from Perth.
A favourite parking spot, in the blocked off area. Is under the two Illawarra Flame Trees. A great shady spot, for train watching during summer.🙂
Hear the chatter of the very attractive Rainbow Lorikeets. Though common on the eastern seabound from Queensland to South Australia. They are a declared pest in Western Australia. Dept of Agriculture, has an ongoing extermination programme in place.
The blue wrapping around the construction scaffold works seen in the background. Is the site of the new multi-level car park building for Transperth passengers.
The new Midland train station, will be constructed opposite the camera location, on the north side of the freight lines.
On time at 10.23 hrs.
Then seen again. from Katrine Road near Northam. On the big curve, west of Avon Yard.
11.53 hrs. About 15 minutes behind schedule.

Very cool captures and sweet chase! (Dave).

Thank you, Dave. Yep easy to head straight east on Great Eastern Highway out from Perth City. And get ahead of any east bound trains. They go on a twisting curved track through the Avon Valley.

@@westernaustraliatrainscene5689 you're welcome and very cool for sure.

We don't realise how long the IP is until you see it from a distance, such as at Katrine. I guess passengers wanting to keep fit could do a length walk each day, would fill in the time instead of sitting and looking. Good video capture. Cheers.

Thank you for your comment. And glad you liked the video. Yeah the train gets even longer in the busy season, 34/35 coaches. Walking along the corridors, would certainly keep you fit!😀
