Hi All,
I got out on Tuesday during work hours to take some pics around Kiama
and Bombo. Well Tuesday morning offer a suprise treat with 4918 fresh
out of the paint shop with 4486 & 4473 in tow in the RIC's Bombo
Quarry Sidings ready to leave. I saw them in there when I was in my
bus heading from Kiama to Kiama Downs to take Kiama High kids to
school. Luckily my second run also starts in Kiama Downs so I zipped
off down to get a closer look at the locos and take a few snaps.
Later in the morning I had the perfect opportunity to get pics of
"Bedrock Betty" the once National Rail stone train out of Dunmore
Quarry, but sadly, I left the camera in the car back at the depot. Bad
part, the train had 2, yes 2 Pacific National painted 81 class on the
front, I wasn't happy either, there was only a car between the bus
that I was in and the locomotives.
When I was getting back from my sportie/charter, at Dunmore I noticed
a ARG painted CLP in the platform, I thought that I need to get back
to the depot and get my camera. I got back to Bombo and the CLP led
train was in the loop. Thats how I got the pics of CLP13 at Bombo.
Mike
