Ballast train at Green Pool.
Had to go to Karratha to collect some fridge's that had been there getting fixed, and with my new camera I decided to go via Cape Lambert, Western Creek, then down to Dampier to get to Karratha. After a loaded at Arches, I can upon this ballast train sitting in the back track at 1025 hrs.
Green Pool, Cape Lambert line. July 1, 2024.
Ballast train with 8130 [closet to camera], 8195 and 8107 with 26 loaded hoppers and two ploughs.
