7PM5 Burnsfield - Snowtown 18/05/2020
It's getting late in the day as the shadows encroach PN Intermodal service 7PM5 from Kewdale to South Dynon as NR97/NR34/AN11 race across the fields towards Snowtown on Monday the 18th of May 2020. The AN was attached to this train at Spencer Jct for forwarding to Melbourne and was surprisingly online.
While best known for the gruesome murders discovered in the town during the late 1990's, Snowtown was previously a mainline junction on the Kadina to Brinkworth branch line. The section from Snowtown to Brinkworth was closed and removed in 1990, while the dual BG/SG gauge line to Kadina was closed to traffic in 1993. A small section remains in service as the siding for the Viterra Snowtown facility which sees grain traffic as required.
