Overland glint
Less than two months after passing from government to private operation, 'The Overland' Adelaide to Melbourne overnight passenger service catches the late evening light as it passes Ambleside in the Adelaide Hills.
It is being hauled by a GE-powered, Goninan-built NR class loco, under a hook and pull arrangement with government owned operator National Rail.
At the time (1997) it was still a daily overnight service; today its future hangs by a thread and it only operates twice-weekly as a daylight train.
