Train Enthusiast’s Video Diary 2019-10-05 Part 1, 2, 3, and 4.
On Saturday 5th of October 2019, (which reached 42 degrees celsius maximum in the shade that day in the Port Augusta/Quorn region and accompanied with a strong dust storm) we joined fellow train enthusiast’s and chased Pichi Richi Railway’s Afghan Express from Port Augusta, South Australia to Quorn, South Australia.
However, on this occasion the Afghan Express joined up with Pichi Richi Railway’s Pichi Richi Explorer at Woolshed Flat, South Australia, and travelled as one train special to Quorn.
Because of the heat and extreme fire risk on the day, diesel locomotives were used in lieu of the usual steam locomotives. Diesel Locomotive NT76 hauled the Afghan Express from Port Augusta to Quorn, and Diesel Locomotive NSU 52 hauled the Pichi Richi Explorer from Quorn to Woolshed Flat, where they met and joined.
Pichi Richi Railway’s Motor Inspection Car MIC126 and a ‘Barwell Bull’, Brill Model 75 Railcar and carriage were also featured in the combined train venture from Woolshed Flat to Quorn.
Earlier, on the same Saturday morning, we decided (on the off chance that we may meet a diesel locomotive heading from Pichi Richi Railway’s depot at Quorn to Port Augusta to haul the Afghan Express as already indicated) and so it was, we did meet NT76 not too far from Woolshed Flat…this led to some unexpected video opportunities prior to the main events.
The day’s video snippets have been grouped into a four-part video collection: Part 1 Diesel Locomotive NT76 engaged in preparations ready to haul the Afghan Express; Part 2 Diesel Locomotive NT76 seen hauling the Afghan Express from Port Augusta to Woolshed Flat, Part 3 Complex train preparations at Woolshed Flat; and Part 4 Combined Diesel locomotives haul combined trains from Woolshed Flat to Quorn.
