Loading the Gypsum at Kevin

            GWA's Gypsum train which runs 3 times a day between Kevin and Thevenard in the far west of South Australia is seen loading at the mine site at Kevin hauled by 1601,1603,1604 as train number 3DD2 on 17-10-2006.
The 3 former narrow gauge NJ class were transferred to the Pt Lincoln division after the narrow gauge line to Alice Springs was closed in 1980 once the Standard gauge line opened.
The locos were remunbered in the early 2000's to 1600 class.
1602 and 1605 were transferred to Western Australia when ARG was formed and since have been sold and shipped to South Africa.
1604 has been stored which leaves 1601,1603 and 1606 which still run these services
