Interesting to see the occasional tarpaulin still in use.

Nice and Slow around the Bends. Given The Adelaide to Darwin Freight is Mostly about Trade from South to North. I wonder How Many of those Wagons are Empty?. This of course Highlights Australia's Export Dilemma of Huge Amounts of Wasted Fuel Use.

Awesome footage! What’s with the passenger car on the PN intermodal at the beginning? Storage? Or just crew bunk?

[@jimcrawford5039]

Extra crew carried as there is 1600 km (1000miles) between the nearest big towns.
