The CGW had two NE-5 cabooses which had their cupolas removed 616 and 618.

Here's 618 in Ft. Dodge 3-70.

   Wes, those hopper cars  seem to be covered in graffiti.  They look similar to ones I see on the Union Pacific and BNSF here in North Texas.  Were they bought used from the United States, or do vandals with plenty of spray paint money exist down under?

great shot Mike!
other than the bricked up windows
it really has not changed much
no electric, of course,
but usally a NS with 3 or 4 locos
and and variety of rolling stock


thanks for sharing

We have plenty of 'artists' over here. The hoppers themselves were built in Oz - they are a lot smaller than the US versions, loaded only weighing in at around 100 US tons.
