Temporary New Route - a photo on Flickriver

            For several weeks now, coming on to nearly 4 months, Journey Beyond Rail's "Indian Pacific" luxurious passenger train has been diverted via Melbourne. Normally, this service runs between Sydney, NSW on the East Coast and Perth, WA on the West Coast of Australia. When travelling within NSW, the train heads west out of Sydney towards Broken Hill close to the South Australian border, then onto Adelaide, thence Perth. However, due to severe rainfall in mid to late October causing multiple washaways to track between Broken Hill & Parkes closing the line; The Indian Pacific would be made to make a deviation. The deviation would be to depart Adelaide and travel towards Melbourne, VIC, rejoining NSW at Albury and continuing north along the Main Southern Line to Goulburn. Due to time restraints, the train from Adelaide to Sydney & vice versa would terminate / originate at Goulburn. After the passengers have disembarked the train, they would join coaches (buses) for the remainder of their journey to Sydney. On one such occasion, we see Pacific National locomotives NR86 & NR28 working train number 3AS8 up the Cullerin Range just south of the temporary terminus of Goulburn. Both locomotives are painted in a special livery, specifically to haul the Indian Pacific, albeit different versions. The difference being in the logos. Once upon a time, the Indian Pacific liveried NR's stood out amongst the rest of the fleet being painted in an all over dark blue, with one even being painted in a bright yellow livery. Now, they wear the Pacific National Corporate colours with Indian Pacific logos. Wednesday, 18th January 2023.
