The Leigh Creek monster : Australian Trains
The Leigh Creek coal train runs a return trip daily between Port Augusta power station and the Leigh Creek open cut mine. I caught it at the 296km peg not far out of Leigh Creek. The locomotives are all EMD derivatives. They are Pacific National 82 class, XRB class ( a B unit ) and a V class number 544 which is a one of a kind although the same as a Westrail Q or just another GT46C type. They are all on Wikipedia. The train had 169 vehicles in this clip with the last being a flat carrying a portable air compressor. I didn't count the flies but I know that there were at 3000000 of then trying to get up my nose or into my eyes and ears while I was shooting.
