Beautiful shot!
I wanted to ask - what in Genesse and Western doing in Australia? We have G&W here in my home state, Pennsylvania. Those locos are so far away!

Matthew, I have no idea why they are here, but I do know they have been here for a while now. G&W first bought the South Australian freight operations of Australian National in 1997 and have had an involvement in Western Australian and New South Wales freight operation since also. They now have a presence in South Australia only. This run down of the history on wikipedia explains it well if you're interested.
