Beyer Peacock 4-8-2 W934 climbing from Port Augusta towards Woolshed Flat on the Pichi Richi Railway. A happy morning was spent chasing this service by car along the adjacent road where we found plenty of spots to get a shot.

Pichi Richi crossing

Beyer Peacock 4-8-2 W934 heads the morning service from Port August on the road crossing below Woolshed Flat on the Pichi Richi Railway. The line is well suited to car chasing for most of the way to Quorn although a lot of the locals seemed to want to stand right next to the track photographing rivets and buffers! This meant that I had to move my position for this shot due to people appearing and standing close to the line.
