DC2206, LQ3122 and LZ3103 drag 8958N loaded export grain across the Cooks River at Tempe, bound for Inner Harbour. Due to a restriction on the ex narrow gauge West Australian wagons, the train must run to the port via Sydney.
There are an assortment of interesting bridges spanning Tempe Town Lake, adjacent to the Arizona State University in Tempe, Arizona. The lake is man-made, resulting from damning the Salt River which flows through the Phoenix metro area. The ASU rowing team can often be seen practicing on the lake and the lakefront offers a park-like setting for biking, running or just enjoying the scenery.
Light rail line from Phoenix to Tempe.
In another year and a half Tucson will have its own light rail .. well the frist 4 miles...
G515, RL304 and 869 slowly ease over the Cooks River with 1213N freight from Port Botany.
This train is operated by P&O Trans Australia, normally from Port Botany to Narromine via Orange and Dubbo (typically running as train 1811N). Today the train is only operating as far as Goulburn (typically to drop off/pick up locomotives or wagons at the workshops), using the "old" 1813 path (P&O used to run a second train to the west, although this contract has been taken up by IRA at the time of writing).
Due to trackwork on the main south line, all freight is being diverted via Wollongong. This meant that 1213N departed Port Botany passed Marrickville Junction, reversed the train on the triangle at Chullora to return to Marrickville Junction to access the down Illawarra Lines. At Wollongong, the train will climb the steep grades to Robertson and Moss Vale before continuing on to Goulburn. To access Narromine, this train will run south to Cootamundra West before heading north to Parkes via Stockinbingal. What a trip!
G515 is no stranger to Parkes, as I last shot it approaching Goobang Junction with a loaded ore train.
I took this shot tonight from the Rural Avenue bridge facing west towards the Mill Avenue Bridge. You can see the Tempe railroad bridge, the Sky Harbor tower and the Phoenix skyline in the distance.

I've been taking you through the desert for a while now so I thought I'd take a break and show the city for a bit. Go ahead, try and figure out what is real and what is reflection. The attached Holiday lights made for an unexpected flourish.
