Afternoon viewing

Only time today for a few random photos from the Mighty Phil Clarke Collection. And they are random!

First up, a four car DEB set with a 620 set trailing behind. In dry country on the way to or from Canberra on 11 August 1979.


Just over a month earlier, someone had parked box number 8007 in front of a lovely view of a building in Orange (30 June 1979).


At the end of its run on a hot January day, the 15th of the year of 1980, the Comet rests in Parkes station. Something fiddly is happening to its bum - I suspect a 73 class is removing its van for transfer to the overnight Forbes Mail to Sydney.


Up north now - the crew is getting or giving orders from the cab of 4507 which, with a sister Alco, sits in front of a empty coal at Murrurundi on 16 November 1982.


Back to Picton in September 1983. 42205 pilots an up container train.


And last for now - 42104 heads a 422 on a down passenger at a rather dreary Sutherland in February 1980.



Plenty more to come from Phil's collection so stay tuned!
