A first time for everything

The first westbound run of QR National's intermodal service from Adelaide to Perth, 4AP1 hauled by locos G534/G516/GM44 near Korunye, South Australia on 14 November 2007.

 

In 2010, QR National was privatised and became Aurizon, who in 2016 withdraw from the interstate intermodal market. Fast forward to 2023 and Aurizon are back in the intermodal game again.

 

The two G class on this train are no longer owned by Aurizon and have had half a dozen owners over the last 25 years. Enough history in this shot for a PhD thesis 😛
