Event Aurizon

Running about 5 hours early is Aurizon train 7PU1 carrying empty containers that had been used to carry processed mineral sands on the westbound journey from Broken Hill to Perth. Luckily we were staying at a roadhouse only 10km from the highway overpass and had set the alarm for 6.15am, so were able to get going and grab this shot about 40 minutes after sunrise.

This is the longest distance mineral haul in Australia and the westbound train grosses over 9000 tonnes. The empties go like the clappers and it was around 130km between shots with this train.
