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.
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

Former Victorian Railways (VR) B and S class locos on display at Streamliners 2016 at the Goulburn Rail Heritage Centre, October 2, 2016. From L-R: B65, S302, S306, S317, S300.
Once owned by the VR, the current operational B & S class locos are mostly owned or leased by Southern Shorthaul Railroad (SSR).

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.
3016 crosses over the Molonglo River at Burbong with 9S50 Canberra Railway Museum's Father's Day train to Bungendore.
S300,S311 have just arrived at Pelican Point on 4120 Balco train from Bowmans and prepare to run around and push the consist into the ports siding on 25-7-13
W112
The high-end W112 was a luxury saloon based on the W111 chassis but with exclusive features, elaborate appointments and the Mercedes 300d Adenauer's fuel-injected 3-litre "big block" M189 6-cylinder engine - at the time the company's largest. Dubbed the 300 SE, it was given many standard power features, air suspension and a high level of interior and exterior trim.

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!

This plate from Kaliningrad is really nice. Triple-X combined with triple-1s, definitely one of the nicer combinations to get in Russia and unsurprisingly seen on an upscale vehicle.

1925 Marshall tractor No. 78953 'Moonraker' (TD 2652) outside The Black Horse Inn after a short run through the North Shropshire lanes.
For sale at 4,900 and 3,990 Euros respectively. Seemed like decent value on the Mercedes, although I'm not sure what mileage it'd done nor what engine it had.
The Hyundai had done 238,000 kms but still looked tidy.
