While I am stuck at work my missus is fooling around!

While I am stuck at work, my Missus is fooling around (with my camera) and 
chasing trains. I can't say I'm mad, just jealous and not just because she is 
track side but her photos are really good. So I decided to dedicate this post 
to her and her pictures. I have a sneaking hunch her photos will pop up on 
here from time to time. 
Thanks for your pix and your help with the blog Rach XOXOX

VTAD grain containers

Hi All,
 An unusual sighting for me at Carrington were these VTAD top loading grain 
containers on a very lengthy train, made up of two MZ locos and  CFCLA 
CQZY container wagons.

ADPF 2003F ballast plough

Hi All,
 I noticed recently ADPF 2003F dismantled at Varley Engineerings yard at Carrington.
I am not sure if it's being scrapped or rebuilt without the body.
