ST24 Passing Ocean View
Having commenced in Albury that morning due to trackwork in Victoria, the driver of ST24 negotiates the twists and turns at Ocean View, preparing to take his train down the steep grades of the Illawarra Mountain to Wollongong.
The first weekend in January saw NSW TrainLink XPT services diverted via Wollongong due to trackwork in the Sydney suburban area. This used to be a regular occurrence during such annual trackwork, although this proved to be uneconomical, with the XPT services being terminated at Goulburn in recent years, and passengers transferred to road coaches to Sydney.
