Wow! Seven years ago today since these five beauties came to South Australia with legendary locomotive driver, Bernie Baker at the controls in a epic chase for streamliner fans such as us and was broadcast to the World on Season 2 of Railroad Australia.
B61, S317, GM27, GM10 & S302 led the charge with 90 ex. Leigh Creek coal hoppers destined for grain haulage ops with SSR.
The train was pictured at Smart Road, North of Jamestown whilst working upgrade and boy did it sound good 😌. Music of the gods.
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 While many are now preserved or even withdrawn (with uncertain futures), some still see commercial freight train work!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!

Despite embarking on a very short chase of 6CM5 (hauled by CLF4, S311, S303. GM27 and CLP12) from Coolamon to Junee sub-terminal, there was still the mandatory cross field shot to show off the variety of colour schemes on the motive power.
I maintain I was only here for the textures in the fields behind the train - the train is just foreground interest.
CLF4 has been hired from RailPower at Goulburn, whilst S303 was on hire from Seymour Rail Heritage Centre. S311 and GM27 are former CFCL Australia locos now owned by SSR and CLP12 is a former Aurizon loco that was purchased and returned to service.

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.
