Two engines and the last of the coal wagons.

They sure have been using these two locomotives for a very long time. Great snap!

Thanks. As a local magazine said "If they have power and brakes then they will be used."

Thank you. I have never seen a kangaroo around here, in suburbia.

This is where our children lived, on a farm at Merringo Gap (NSW), for about 6 years.

In the US, some helpers sometimes are used at the rear of the train - or even in the middle - in mountainous territory. We sometimes see them here in the flatlands when they don’t both to stop and remove them when the land becomes level. I have not remembered to photograph any the few examples I have seen. One difference is that they use modern diesels.
