3801

[den]

Last weekend 3081 visited Dubbo. This is 3801.



It's a streamlined 38 "Pacific" class engine from the 1930s, restored and now pulling 1929 vintage carriages on tourist runs around the state. It was booked out so I had to chase it by road to get my photos. There were a lot of us steam tragics in the convoys.

I'm afraid The Ghan misses Uluru by 200km. You can't actually see it from the train.

Those people going to the festival around there must have not been too happy:D. They were going on foot.

So much for public television. They did say it was in the vicinity, but 200k? :P

Out there, 200km is next door.
