Some initial photos from Streamliners 2016 - a one-off special event, organised by train driver (engineer) and GM streamliner tragic Bernie Baker and held in Goulburn, NSW. It brought together Clyde-GM/EMD and Goodwin-Alco streamlined locomotives originally from three different Australian state railway systems on two different gauges, now from a plethora of owners and operators. While many are now preserved or even withdrawn (with uncertain futures), some still see commercial freight train work!
*colloquialisms - "bullring" was used for tracks around a turntable without a roundhouse building, "bulldogs" is used for GM/EMD streamlined nose locomotives!

The Selimiye Mosque is an Ottoman imperial mosque, which is located in the city of Edirne (formerly Adrianople), Turkey. The mosque was commissioned by Sultan Selim II, and was built by the imperial architect Mimar Sinan between 1568 and 1575. It was considered by Sinan to be his masterpiece and is one of the highest achievements of Islamic architecture as a whole and Ottoman architecture in particular.
The mosque, together with its külliye, was included on UNESCO's World Heritage List in 2011

Everything back to normal.
This plate was quite an interesting spot on an early sunday morning in Berlin. At first I didn't really know what it was, but I easily found out it was a Croatian diplomatic plate. These plates look rather flashy, being bright blue with yellow latters. Of course, as with many "underspotted" countries, diplomatic codes remain a mistery. Someone suggested India, so I'll stick to that, possibly adding 500 to 057 after one series or maybe sometimes used for consuls rather than embassy staff.
557 = India
C = Corps Consulaire
001 = Consul
Moments after 9198 SSR grain rolled to a stop in Korong Vale, a small wedding party could be seen vacating the nearby pub and crossing the road to see the train. The smaller gentleman in the centre of the group seemed the most taken with the giant engines, although the bride and groom also made sure to get a few photos before the train departed for Melbourne.
