Hi John, welcome.
Two things - one, the name of your town - Gouburn? Very similar to the name of my town, Golborne. In fact when you say "Golborne" with a local accent, that's what you get, "Gouburn". It just struck me as funny that's all.... The other thing - my cousin, who was over here a few weeks ago, is also a freight train driver in South Australia, Perth, so nowhere near you. He drives narrow gauge stock like the pic attached, although he wasn't driving this, luckily.  Welcome to the forum anyway!
