Less than two months after passing from government to private operation, 'The Overland' Adelaide to Melbourne overnight passenger service catches the late evening light as it passes Ambleside in the Adelaide Hills.
It is being hauled by a GE-powered, Goninan-built NR class loco, under a hook and pull arrangement with government owned operator National Rail.
At the time (1997) it was still a daily overnight service; today its future hangs by a thread and it only operates twice-weekly as a daylight train.

Turkey: October 1971
While driving this AEC bus from India to London I lost control of it and slid off the road in north-eastern Turkey. This happened at over 5,500 feet elevation on the old dirt road from Agri to Horasan; a couple of hours previously, I'd driven over the snow-covered Tahir Pass (approx. 8,000 feet) without incident, but as we got lower down, the road became a treacherous surface of snow melting on top of mud.
In the background is a yellow truck, bound for Tehran — this was a Scania 140 truck and drawbar trailer operated by the English company, Asian Transport (later renamed Astran). The Scania driver, Dick Snow, offered to drop his trailer and pull the bus back on to the road with a chain, but then another English truck turned up – this one was an ex-Army Bedford belonging to another of the overland companies. The driver of the four-wheel-drive Bedford took over the recovery operation and pulled the bus back onto the road with a wire hawser. The bus was unscathed, although it had collected even more mud to add to what was on it already. The snow that had been on the roof of the bus, for the last thousand-odd miles, had suddenly melted.

The interstate passenger service between Adelaide and Melbourne 'The Overland' has now only three return trips left before the government subsidy it enjoys runs out
So I went for a nostalgic journey today from Melbourne to Adelaide, just for fun. A couple of weeks ago the train was sold out, but with numerous cancellations due to the virus thingy, around 50% of intending passengers had cancelled.
UPDATE: As it turns out this was probably the last run of Australia's oldest interstate through passenger service - due to government virus restrictions, despite three more return trips planned, as of Sunday 22/3 the train was mothballed and is unlikely to return.

Mount Robson Provincial Park, an hours drive from Jasper, is a gem in the wilderness that just begs for the nature lover & photographer to visit. Majestic Mountains, scenic rivers & lakes & quiet places just a bit different to what you find on the Alberta side of the Great Divide.
