901 @ Iron Baron
On the narrow gauge 1067mm network linking the mines to the steelworks at Whyalla, South Australia, two Alco DL531s 901/904 approach Iron Baron with a train from the mine at either Iron Duke or Iron Knight - 22 December 2008.
Most of the iron ore carried on the network goes for export, with the steelworks supplied its ore via a slurry pipeline.
The two small Alcos were originally built with high hoods, but had the chop nose treatment to provide greater visibility from the cab and allow their use on one man operations.
