On 6 September 1986, then local rail tour operator Train Tour Promotions chartered a consist of Overland cars for a trip from Adelaide to Nuriootpa in the Barossa Valley and back.
The weather wasn't the best, but fortuitously the train stopped briefly at Sandy Creek for safe-working purposes, just as a burst of sun illuminated the train and the storm clouds behind.
Australian National broad-gauge Alco DL531 no.868, recently ex-works, did the honours. Usually on standard gauge, it was only put on BG bogies for a short time after overhaul and 17 days later on 23/9/86 was back on SG.
The Jeepster is an automobile originally produced by Willys-Overland Motors from 1948 to 1950. It was developed in hopes of filling a gap in the company's product line, crossing over from their "utilitarian" proto SUVs and trucks to the passenger automobile market. The basic model included numerous deluxe features and interior fittings in addition to a high level of standard equipment that cost extra on other automobiles. A total of almost 20,000 were manufactured.

Not quite Midsummer, but close enough when for a short period of time there was plenty of light still to get The Overland emerging from sleeps Hill tunnel in good light before the shadows started to lengthen.

The Overland Track is an Australian bushwalking track, traversing Cradle Mountain-Lake St Clair National Park, within the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area. It's walked by more than nine thousand people each year, with numbers limited in the warmer months.
Officially the track runs for 65 kilometres (40 mi) from Cradle Mountain to Lake St Clair however many choose to extend it by walking along Lake St Clair for an extra day, bringing it to 82 kilometres (51 mi).
It winds through terrain ranging from glacial mountains, temperate rainforest, wild rivers and alpine plains.

Indian Pacific liveried NR26 works 5MA8 Overland service from Melbourne to Adelaide on Thursday afternoon on 29-11-07.
Four of Pacific National's GE powered NR class were painted into this scheme and later NR18 into a newer scheme. Later all would receive repaints and a simplified Indian Pacific scheme would be applied
It might be just my imagination, but I think I can see letters painted on the old stonework. Amgourie tea?
The overnight Melbourne to Adelaide sleeper catches some early morning light as it climbs the grade out of Callington, South Australia, approximately 90 minutes from its destination.
At this time the train was jointly operated by the federally owned Australian National and the Victorian state owned V/Line - V/Line EMD X51 is leading AN Alco 934 on 11 October 1987.
Back then it ran overnight in each direction. Today it is privately run (with government subsidy) and only a daylight run twice a week, rarely loading to more than 6 cars.

The interstate passenger train 'The Overland' is yet again in trouble, after the operator Journey Beyond Rail Journeys is expected to cease service with the Adelaide-Melbourne passenger train. The 127 year old service The Overland is expected to be ceased by the end of the year, after the Victorian Government has been funding the service 100% with no financial support from from the South Australian Liberal party or the Commonwealth Government.
Although, one window closes as another opens.
