It just so happened that I crossed this railway bridge this morning while driving through the Adelaide Hill and something made me stop, park the car and grab my camera.

When I got down to the track I met three guys all set up with assorted cameras. At first I though they were train buffs but once I got chatting I discovered they were train drivers themselves. So what do train drivers do on their 3 week holidays, chase and photograph trains apparently!

I did not have to wait long for GM46 to come powering past the old Mount Lofty train station with a haul of grain the stretched as far as the eye could see. GM46 is a GM class locomotive manufactured in 1967 by Clyde Engineering in Granville, New South Wales.
