Above: Clyde/EMD units 2474, 2414 and 1723 head Train No. PW57 at Yandina on Saturday 9 December 2017. Since the retirement of the<br />
Sunlander and locomotive-hauled Tilt-replacement trains, the Spirit of the Outback is now the only regular loco-hauled QR train to work the<br />
North Coast line. This means that multi-unit combinations for transferring locomotives to and from Rockhampton and the Central Line, such<br />
as the one pictured, are becoming more commonplace. In this case, 2474 was to be detached at Rockhampton for ‘standby’ duties. Ray Miller<br />
Below: Clyde/ASEA/Walkers electric units 3526 and 3561 (at the head) 3511 and 3508 (mid-train) and 3539 (at the rear) arrive at Jilalan, on<br />
the Goonyella rail system, with an empty coal train from Hay Point. John Scott<br />
