On 22nd April 1999, No.8432 ore train with loading from the mine at Cadia
races over the level crossing at Perthville. Interesting perspective effect is rendered
by 24mm wide angle lens which preserves linearity at the cost of angular distortion. |

to give the impression of natural light. |

On a crisp 18 July 1988 morning an Orange - Lithgow passenger duty headed by 4838
drops down into Gresham. The distant signal, down running line, rolling stock and train
service depicted in this scene have all since vanished. |

A pan shot, taken at 1/60 second, of G522 heading 3196 freight
up through Jindalee early on the morning of 14 February 1991. Check out the coupling height
mismatch between the loco and first wagon! |

4203 tries hard to peer around 4410 as they head an interstate goods train
down into Werai on a hot summer evening. One of the first photos I made using a 500mm lens.

8W77 has made a short diversion to Yeoval to collect grain from the silo,
resulting in the unusual (at that time) occurrence of a 45 class loco leading the working
from Yeoval back to Molong, before resuming its westbound journey. The train, headed by
4505 + 4907 + 44209, is seen at Copper Hill on 9 September 1988. |

A colourful, early Spring 1992 scene on the Ulan line, where 48163 + 48164
are on rail relaying duties. The remoteness and rugged beauty of this line, combined with
the variety of traffic it saw in the early 1990s, made it a favourite haunt of mine. |
 |
Two classes of electric locomotive combine to haul
an empty Baal Bone bound coal train west of Mount Victoria on 11 August 1996.
The locos are 8503, 8507, 8611 and 8612. In the few years since this photo was taken,
the use of electric traction on freight trains in New South Wales has ceased. |

shutter speed and wide aperture. |
