XP2003 and XP2014 lead WT47 through closed Newbridge station bound for Orange then Parkes.
Unlike previous years, the 2022 Elvis Express was combined with the normal Dubbo XPT service (WT27). This year the train operated to Orange along the normal WT27 timetable carrying both Dubbo XPT and Parkes-bound Elvis Express passengers. Beyond Orange, passengers for destinations towards Dubbo completed the remainder of the journey by road coach. Meanwhile, the XPT continued to Parkes as WT49. A similar arrangement was used for the return journey.
This contrasts with previous years where the Parkes bound Elvis Express was operated as a standalone train on a separate path, and the Dubbo XPT service would be replaced by an Xplorer.

Una toma que me costó sacar adelante. Mucha luna que se ocultaba y salía en cielo muy cambiante, una farola tremenda que solo me hacía flares. Todo un suplicio. Pero algo quedó.

On a quiet Sunday night at the Xplorer/Endeavour Service Centre sits 3 Xplorer sets receiving light maintenance before their trips to the regions the following day. I was there that night to repair a broken mobile phone aboard EC2523 (fuse went kaboom). On each road is the following;
1 Road - EA2506 / EB2513 / EC2526 (ex-NP24 - formed NP23)
2 Road - EA2502 / EB2514* / EB2516* / EC2523 (ex-SP42 - formed WP45)
3 Road - EA2508 / EC2528 (ex-NP2/44 - formed NP2/43) / TE2814 on jacks

with A LOT of fresh snow, nature, crispy air (-20C brrrrr), beautiful sky and silence ...
Nature sleeps under a soft snow cover.
Or in fact refurbished.
I know a majority of people don't really care nor keep tabs on these sorts of vehicles. So I'll keep it brief.
In May last year EA2503 had parts of its roof ripped off whilst going under the Coolamon Mainline Loader out in the Riverina whilst working SP42 to Junee. Since then it's been various states at both Auburn Heavy Maintenance Centre and Xplorer Endeavour Service Centre.
Fast forward to last night (9/7/25) EA2503 has just finished its refurbishment / repairs and re-connected to its partner car EC2523 in the Annex Road at Eveleigh, pending a trial run to Lithgow and back as HP95/6 the following day.
At this current point in time LE2860 has been out of service for a year and TE2811 out for 6 months. Thus you may see LE2861 & TE2810 as a pair.

Almost caught me out, after losing some time on their trip from Cootamundra through to Moss Vale, train 3476 is swung over through the back way into the down refuge at Moss Vale, as Xplorer service SP36 catches up. BRM001, 602, 4532 and 4904 get underway again after a swift crew change before spending some time sitting in the refuge to let the 5 car Xplorer from Griffith and Canberra pass through.
