The plains of New South Wales |
| Description: |
The Sunday-only Griffith to Sydney Xplorer DMU runs up the 1.3% grade near Cullerin NSW; the view is a good representation of the bush out here-with fields full of sheep, cattle and the occasional kangaroo bounding by. |

Grain Empties Moving South |
| Description: |
Two units bring Pacific National empty grain train 9323N around a curve on a Tuesday afternoon while descending about 10KM of 1.4% grade to Fish River. The train is at KP260 approaching the Old Hume Highway underpass; its destination is Cootamundra, about 170 kilometers further down the road. 81-class 8173 is followed by C-class C-509 in Coote Industrial colors. In US terms this pair is close to an SD40-2/SD40 duo. |

Down Train Near Fish River |
| Description: |
Two Pacific National NR-class units bring what appears to be the empty steel train down the Cullerin Range. The sun was dodging clouds here- 15 seconds later and the entire scene would've had perfect light. |

Empty Grain at Biscuit Bridge |
| Description: |
The usual pair of 81-class units bring their empty grain train downgrade near "Biscuit Bridge" in the Cullerins on the South Main. As a local explained to me several years ago the structure, which carries the Old Hume Highway over the tracks, had a truck loaded with biscuits (cookies to us in the US) go out of control and end up on the tracks, closing the line for a period. It's been "Biscuit Bridge" ever since. |
