A photo pictorial of the arrival, loading and departure of one of the cement trains
T364 on the Cement Train leaving the fiddle yard
T364 arrives in the loop in order that the loco can run around the train
The crew have uncoupled the loo and it is about to move forward and cross over to the main track
T364 has crossed over to the main track and the points have been set for it to run around. The loco is seen from the sawn timber siding and the Cement works is in the background
T364 stops just short of coupling up so that the crew member can signal the driver back onto the train
The train has now been pushed back into the silo siding and will shortly be in position for loading to commence
Cement wagons never look clean except the first couple of days back in service. It is a while since this car has seen the workshop
Loading continues as the first of six cars to be loaded has emerged from the silo
The last car has just finished loading and the train is ready to proceed up to the platform for the final paperwork ans wait for the staff to the next section
The staff for the next section has been received and the Cement train is about to depart the loop. This saga will be played out later again that day when the next Cement Train arrives
Stay tuned for another in depth view of another service on this branch line
