A day out following Puffing Billy, travelling through the magnificent Dandenong Ranges, hauled by Steam Locomotive NA Class 12A.
12A; Built in 1912 and painted Canadian Pacific red & dark brown, this locomotive was issued to the Colac to Crowes line, but over the years saw service on all four lines. It was withdrawn from service in 1954 at Moe and sent to Newport Workshops for storage where it remained until 1972. After overhaul at Ballarat North Workshops, it was brought to Belgrave in 1973 where it saw continuous service until withdrawn in 1982 for a complete rebuild. It was returned to service in 1992 in close to its early 1940s condition with all-over Black livery. It will be returned to its post WWI condition with low bunker, narrow ash chute, steel cowcatcher and Canadian Pacific livery.

66752 'The Hoosier State' takes it easy in the shade on the Skipton/Grassington Line outside the Swinden Limestone Quarry, United Kingdom
With only two weeks remaining before QUBE Logistics hands over operation of the Heidelberg Materials “Apex” Quarry Train to Southern Shorthaul Railroad, I figured there was no better way to spend a Sunday morning than heading to Kilmore East for a few photos, even if it meant missing K160 on the Werribee shuttles.
After departing Brooklyn at 09:20 as #9341, the train made good progress before a locomotive failure brought it to a halt at Broadmeadows. In response, VL353 and VL351 ran light engine from North Dynon via Essendon to Broadmeadows as #0407, where they attached to G512 and G515, which were already leading the train.
The train eventually departed Broadmeadows at 14:30 bound for Kilmore East Quarry. By the time it arrived, what had started as a quiet morning with only myself trackside had turned into a gathering of gunzels, with seemingly everyone and their dog making the trip out.
Upon reaching Kilmore East, the train stopped just short of the junction to the quarry branch, where it was held to allow three V/Line passenger services to pass before proceeding onto the quarry branch. As the wait dragged on, a band of cloud began approaching from the south, raising concerns that the afternoon’s perfect lighting conditions would disappear before the train finally made its move.
Fortunately, the timing couldn’t have worked out much better. With the sun still shining, #9341 finally received the road into the quarry branch, resulting in what is, without a doubt, one of the best photographs I’ve ever taken.

Best laid plans of trains and gunzels! The plan was to phot Aurizon’s 4176 loaded Snowtown grain train on the Port River Bridge. An immediate problem raised its ugly head: 45kph winds with 60kph gusts raising a small dust storm all over the Port area! So no drones and on to Plan B - find a suitable location without flying dust and grit! Location selected, now where’s the train? Well, for reasons only known to Aurizon and/or ARTC, it’s taking a break at Bishops Loop, most probably because it’s running early! A quick relocation and shot in dreadful light, it was a hot foot back to Osborne when the grainy got the green light! So with Leadfoot on the throttle, we just made it, where I still managed to stuff up the composition splendidly!
This is my best effort for the “Cheese & Gherkin” sandwich of CLF6-G535-CLP8 with 4176 Snowtown to Pelican Point Aurizon grain train, Jan 14, 2023!

The shots from this position were taken "blind" over the top of a wall with a Nikon D7100 with a failed viewfinder information and screen; so no idea of settings etc. Just what you need when you're 17,000km from home!

Now, another thing you notice railfanning abroad is that specific parts of the world adopt different styles of train photography. In Australia, for example, a majority of the South Aussies branch of Gunzels Inc. love a good old-fashioned 200mm powershot, as does a large majority of railfans here in Japan, to the point where the train is only a few pixels to the edge of the frame. Now, this is very important to mention: this is NOT me criticising or bad-mouthing how people take photos. In this hobby, there are no rules for taking a train picture; it's purely enjoyable for us railfans. These are purely observations, without any prejudice, that I've made over the years.
So, furthermore, after meeting a kind local gentleman at a level crossing in Kusakabe (who showed us a photo of an EF65-EF64 combo that we watched go past in amazement, without a camera in hand... well, except Cade. But we'll pretend that never happened), showing off his shots, it was time. Truly become one with the railfan culture and zoom baby zoom (an important thing to note, a lot of the Japanese railfans were well equipped with lenses that went well past 200mm), so for us Aussies who max out at 200mm, our Powershots still look wide in comparison. Even this post-production crop is still nowhere near their powershots. But hey, it's just a quirky white boy trying to be a little Japanese. Pictured above is EF210-334 working 2081 goods from Osaka to Fukuoka, approaching the Okayama downtown area.
