Outback Jimmies
Mission accomplished - finally got to see the ageing GMs on the ARTC rail train - a long drive though for a handful of shots (1000km round trip).
Genesee & Wyoming Australia's GM37/GM43 on 8M42 work train are dropping rail lengths near the 220km post between Wirrappa & McLeay in South Australia on 3 July 2017.
After almost 18 months sitting out in the open on the storage roads at Dry Creek (Adelaide), these two 50-year old locos were fired up again in November 2016 for use on this rail train contract.
