Melbourne Randomness – 2018

How do you post photos that (are really cool but) really don't relate to eachother and have been taken over a large period of time? You start a randomness-post! ...And so I present the following...

Here's Steamrail's Y112 passing through Hawksburn Station. Fortunately, I guessed the correct tracks and was in a good location.

A regular in my area, the steel train is always trundling past. Here it is traversing the mudholes below Cromwell Road.

And then again.. with an XR up front, this time.

Now we're off to Flinders Street Station. Here we get to see Steamrail up to mischeif again with a double-ended heritage passenger train. They were running shuttles in all sorts of directions.

One of the shuttles was off to Essendon, so I made my way to Kensington to see it fly though. Fortunately enough, SSR had their grain rake stabled there.

A further shuttle then saw the consist pass through Hawksburn twice.

Hanging around North Melbourne Station saw a newly refurbished Comeng set shunt around. These have had face-lifts, amongst other changes. The gangways between carriages are also now covered.

Finally, another Steamrail shuttle was captured up north.

And then... another steelie, from the other side of the tracks... with my old apartment in the background. Boo hoo.

...the end.
