@Lenny53,

That must have been one of CN No. 8836's first revenue runs, because look at how clean and shiny it is.  Good catch.

After the rapid demise of Australian National's short-lived 'Explorer' tourist train in mid-1994, loco 961 retained its special livery, but was relegated to normal broad gauge freight duties around South Australia by then owner Australian National. On 22 February 1995, the all Alco combination of 961/852/874 rumble past the yards and facilities at Dry Creek South with a broad gauge transfer move of wagons destined for storage on the Eudunda branch. 961 was converted to standard gauge later in the year and ownership transferred a couple of times post privatisation of Australian National. It is currently owned by CFCL Australia and stored out of use at Gouburn, NSW.
