Always look at the Outer Harbour Marina from Tommy Thompson Park - now get to see the Park from the marina. Boats will soon shed their winter covers and the slips will be full.
"There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission. If we wish to make it louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We will control the horizontal. We will control the vertical. We can roll the image, make it flutter. We can change the focus to a soft blur, or sharpen it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear. You are about to participate in a great adventure. You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the inner mind to... The Outer Limits." ---opening narration---
CLP16 at Outer Harbor - taken just on sunset, Wednesday 10 February 2016.
The former Commonwealth Railways took delivery of 17 EMD-powered CL class locomotives from Clyde Engineering between 1970-1972.
Ownership was transferred to Australian National in 1978 and fifteen years later the class was re-manufactured by Morrison Knudsen Australia into two sub-classes - CLP/CLF.
In the privatisation era ownership of the class was ultimately split between Genesee & Wyoming Australia and Aurizon. The Aurizon units are all stored, unlikely to run again, while six remain in service with GWA.

The moon was cold and barren, but it held a secret that would change the course of history. Two explorers, one human and one alien, had landed on its surface, unaware of each other's presence. They were both on a mission to discover new worlds and expand their horizons.
The human, a young astronaut from America, had been sent by NASA to collect samples and study the geology of the moon. He was wearing a white space suit with the American flag on an arm band. He had a helmet that allowed him to communicate with his team and a backpack that contained his tools and equipment.
The alien, a graceful being from a distant planet, had been sent by its own civilization to observe and learn from other life forms. It had a slender body with grey skin and large black eyes that sparkled with curiosity. It had a device that enabled it to breathe and communicate with its spacecraft.
They both wandered around the moon, exploring its craters and mountains, until they saw each other from afar. They stopped in their tracks, stunned by the sight of another intelligent being. They felt a mix of fear and wonder, but also a sense of connection. They decided to approach each other, slowly and cautiously, hoping for a peaceful encounter.
They met in a valley, under the light of a giant planet that loomed over the moon. They stared at each other, trying to comprehend the differences and similarities between them. They sensed a mutual respect and curiosity, and a desire to communicate. They reached out their hands, a gesture of friendship and goodwill, and clasped them together. They felt a warm and electric sensation, as if their souls had touched.
They smiled, and in that moment, they knew they had made history. They had bridged the gap between two worlds, and opened the door to a new era of discovery and cooperation. They had become the first ambassadors of an interstellar relationship that would last for generations to come.
