B61 leads S302, S317 and G514 emerge from a brief but intense summer storm at Springwood with 1877 freight from Cooks River to Kelso. The Blue Mountains weathered three summer storms over the course of the morning, with the weather varying wildly between bright, hot and sunny, and wind with hail!
One of the most amazing sights to grace South Australian rails for quite a few years was the appearance of Southern Shorthaul Railroad's vintage bulldogs S317/GM27/GM10/S302, seen near Winninowie, on a wagon transfer from Port Augusta to New South Wales.
More amazing is that these four locos were all in attendance at Streamliners 2016 in Goulburn, NSW just a month ago.
The hoppers were previously used on the Leigh Creek to Port Augusta coal traffic which ceased in April 2016 and have recently been purchased by Consolidated Rail Leasing for work in NSW.

With the demise of West Coast Rail in 2004 S300 was sold to West Coast Rail on 18-8-04 to CFCLA and transferred to Bendigo Worshops for repairs before re entering
service with CFCLA 3-4-07.
The loco was later transferred to Standard gauge and worked over a number of states.
On 18-9-14, S300 is stabled at Islington works getting prepared to work a transfer to NSW.
A very elegant way of cruising around on a sunny Saturdat afternoon.
Fuel prices fell during our time in France, slightly higher here than I'd seen elsewhere.

44206, S302, S317 and GM22 (offline) make up for lost time as they race west across the Darling Causeway between Mt Victoria and Bell. The railway line literally runs along a knifes edge ridge before descending down into Lithgow via The Ten Tunnels.
The day had started off warm and sunny, although the further west the train went, the more pronounced the clouds became. Quite quickly the clouds went from individual nuisances ruining sunny photos to form a thick blanket covering the central west. Disappointing, our last shot "under the wires" for the day also happened to be our last shot with any sun on the train.

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

Four S Class express passenger locomotives were built by the Victorian Railways, entering service in 1928. The bottom model shows S 300 in its original unstreamlined form with the red livery it received in 1934.
With the introduction of the new Spirit of Progress service in 1937 (providing the Victorian leg of the Melbourne to Sydney express), the locomotives were streamlined and received a new blue and gold livery. The top model shows S 302 after streamlining with the larger tender required for the express run from Melbourne to Albury on the New South Wales border.

The design work for the coupé began immediately after the approval of the sedan. Special attention was given to improved aerodynamics, with a drag coefficient of 0,34. The SEC luxury coupé was presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1982. The 560 followed 3 years later as the most powerful model, with a new V8 engine producing 300 hp. At the time, the S-Class belonged to the very best available on the car market, especially with this engine. This coupé also had no competition in its market segment. But it came with a hefty price tag - it was more expensive than a Ferrari Testarossa.

Freshly painted for the event, B61 poses on the turntable, slowly being rotated for all to admire!
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!
