Mid-summer high light and heat haze are not the best conditions for rail photography, but when the subject matter is a 53 year old GM 'Bulldog', then exceptions have to be made. GM47 entered service with the Commonwealth Railways (of Australia) on 16 January 1968 with ownership later passing through various iterations of ownership with Genesee & Wyoming Australia until early 2020. After several years in storage it was reactivated earlier this year, and made a rare appearance last weekend, after several other locos on the train had failed, at the head of 5DA2 intermodal service from Darwin to Adelaide, seen near Mallala, South Australia.

Doing what the MD and DE railroad requests of it, RS3m #1201 has 12 former CSXT grainers stretched out around the curve en route to get spotted at a grain mill in Queen Anne County, MD. The 4750s are now owned by the Delmarva Central RR. Photo taken today in Massey, MD.
