Shot of the Year
CLF1, C501, 852, S303, 4908 and CLF4 work 4MC5 empty grain through The Rock to Uranquinty so they can run around and return to the loader for The Rock on the Boree Creek Line.
Alot of people ask why is the place called "The Rock" well it is hard to include it in a photo, but at the right time of year and right time of day it can be shown and what better train to do that with. I've had my eye on this shot for many years since seeing a photo of an XPT passing through on sunrise, back in the Riverina XPT days. These days no trains are timetabled past here regularly at the right time, so to score an adhoc here was pretty good with CLF1 leading aswell. The SSR standard livery wears so nicely on the Streamliner shape bodies.
