Swift and Shift
Apart from the brief excursion to the Tramway Museum a fortnight ago, it's been almost six months since I've been out lineside with the cameras. Ventured out to Callington yesterday with the vain hope of something interesting coming over from Victoria, but in the end that didn't happen until well after dark.
So all I was left with of any note was The Overland returning from Melbourne to Adelaide with a 'longer' than usual consist.
The normal 6-car consist had been strengthened to 10 cars to convey fans to Melbourne for a Taylor Swift concert. Flights were obviously fully booked and/or too expensive. There will be a repeat run Sunday/Monday to bring them back to Adelaide.
