G'day again Syd,
I did trudge out yesterday in the frozen pea souper fog to take another pot shot at 3801.
Returning east with the entire train plus three weasels.
Drove out to the Brewongle curves, and could hear it blowing the hooter for Lloyds Road level crossing approaching Bathurst.
That be a goodly 13 kms, as the crow flies.
The mongrel 42 class EMD thing did drown out the other weasels.
But, you could still hear the Jolly Green Giant strutting along.
Doing every bit of the max 70 kph climbing the 1 in 75 curves at Brewongle.
Gone in a flash, just like the 7 other gunzels chasing the thing.
I just drove back to Bathurst.
Too risky in winter time attempting to chase a train along the wonky back road to Tarana and Lithgow.
Steve.
