Friday 14th September 2012 saw a special train of modern Australian locomotives travel from Adelaide to Port Augusta to celebrate 100 years of Trans Australian Railway Line in Port Augusta.
Here are some shots of train 9104 passing through Long Plains on 6/3/12 with locos CSR001 & CSR002 leading. I think this is the first train using these new locos.
They were detached at the SCT depot at Bolivar.These locos were manufactured in China.
On Saturday 5th November GWA001 worked AD1. The train is seen here near Bolivar at about 6.30pm. My understanding is that the loco was having teething problems. I am not sure how far it got. Also that afternoon MP1 had ACB4403 attached being transfered to W.A.
