Something a bit different
I've only been to Western Australia on a few occasions and my coverage of the rail scene over there is sparse to say the least. I was in Kalgoorlie briefly in August 2004 and managed to catch a Saturday afternoon Koolyanobbing to Esperance export iron ore working departing the yard after reversal.
Motive power is a pair of former Westrail Q class EMD-powered locos (model JT46C) built by Clyde Engineering in Australia in 1997. By the time of this pic, the fomer state government owned Westrail had been sold to Australian Railroad Group, a 50/50 partnership between Genesee & Wyoming Australia and Wesfarmers, although again sold in 2006 to QR National.
