How do they turn the trains, have they got a loop at either end as the 1600 classes were always in the lead. Great videos of things that I expect will soon disappear.🇦🇺
Thanks for a very good video: What was the tonnage per wagon. The power units must have been in the lower HP rating since it was four in this train; ( say this because of the length of the train). the country side looked beautiful on wide screen. thanks again.
Hello John , the horsepower of the locos are shown at the start of the video , I am not sure of the trains tonnage but the grade into Ceduna is quite steep .
From memory each train is around 2750 tonnes. The 7 RSKs at the front of the consist were added to increase the tonnage by 200-300 tonnes per train a few years ago

Yes, there are balloon loops at each end of the line
