Koolyanobbing ore

A bit gloomy and uploaded mainly because I think this is the only image of have a loco carrying the G & W inspired Australia Western Railroad 'black swan' logo (AWR).

 

AWR came about as a result of the privatisation of the former state government owned Westrail business in Dec 2000, a 50/50 purchase by Genesee & Wyoming and Wesfarmers. The various businesses were re-branded Australian Railroad Group in 2002. AWR is still registered business, but it now owned by Queensland based freight operator Aurizon.

 

On 14 August 2004, Q312/Q314 arrive at West Kalgoorlie yard with a loaded iron ore train which will reverse and then head down the opposite track to the port at Esperance.
