  • These ore trains originate at the Cleveland Cliffs mine at Koolyanobbing on the Perth-Kalgoorlie main and then head south at Kalgoorlie for the port of Esperance on the south coast of Western Australia. Locos are GE C44aci and Clyde/EMD GT46C models built in Australia.
    ARG was a subsidiary of QR National which has changed its name to Aurizon.

    Great video. Loved seeing the trains going through that big dip. And the locos sounded good for being GEs.

    Looks like a much improved SG track since the Flying Scotsman went down there in 1988/9.. great video, by the way.

    I don't know about anything else, but Koolyanobbing has to be the place name of the month. Doesn't it sound like a choice Australian epithet. "Strewth, koolyanobbing will ya."

      Salmon Gums is another funny named place along there. A good drive from Esperance to Norseman.

    What class of wagons does aurizon run here?

    • @fmnut
      @fmnut  Před rokem

      The smooth sided wagons are WOE. Not sure of the class of the ribbed sided ones.

      The ribbed ones were a mix of WO, WOC and maybe WOD too. They have all since been removed from service. The remaining ore wagons are the WOE seen in this video, and the newer MHPY belly dumpers
