Not really sure what made me think of Port Waratah depot. Anyway I have, so here comes a dozen snaps from that location running from April 1964 through to the end of steam.
From that earlier period, 5251 leads a line of stored steam locos.
Next up, working steam, but a bit quirky. 5195 has an EHO in tow.
5114 has a shunting tender attached, in the foreground of the coaling tower ramp.
A couple more shots from around this location. First up, 1904 up high.
Then 3090T going about shunting duties (taken from a heavily degraded slide)
And 3246 getting coaled at this location.
1955 was caught shunting non-air four wheel coal hoppers.
Finally, to the turntable - 5475 is adjacent to the roundhouse.
And to finish off with a couple of garratts between shifts.
Cheers,
Don.
