Spirit of the Outback - Part 2 - Maryborough to Blackwater plus awesome coal trains

Once again we enjoy a driver’s eye view (albeit fake) as we depart Maryborough for Blackwater. This might well be described as big county, the Eucalyptus and Gum tree forests line either side of the tracks for many miles as we race across the level coastal plains, in places the forest gives way to vast tracts of farm land, broken by the occasional rivers, creeks and settlements. Our Driver’s Eye View finishes at Bundaberg, as the section of line between there and Rockhampton was covered in darkness in both directions. We pick up the out bound train again as we leave Rockhampton where the routes to Cairns and Longreach diverge, our diesels begin to work as the train climbs towards Stanwell, never far from the Capricorn Highway. We pass a succession of massive coal trains with locomotives at both ends along with a helper positioned mid train, I’ve seen coal trains in the USA, but I’ve never seen so many, so close together, some destined for the power stations at Stanwell and Gladstone, others for Port of Gladstone, for more informationabout these awesome trains, please click on this link - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackwa... From Stanwell onto Blackwater, we pass through open countryside for most of the route to Blackwater, occasionally climbing hard through rolling hill country, passing a never ending succession of coal trains. Bluff and Blackwater are at the center of a network of lines serving the coal mines of Central Queensland. Once again the Driver’s Eye View is the result of reversing the footage taken from the back of the train. The train is operated by QueenslandRail and the track gauge is 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in).
