South Para crossing

Australian National's ill fated Explorer 'tourist' train seen crossing the South Para River at Gawler on 9 March 1994. Alco 'World' DL500B 961 was given a Dulux overhaul to haul the train earning it limited celebrity status in enthusiast circles. In 1994 it was only used twice, both corporate charters, and this was the return of the first of the two, from the Barossa Valley.
