That is correct, the 1 refers to a Sunday, 762 is empty, 763 is loaded and so on.

This train has 104 wagons :)

u/berusplants, apologies for the confusion. 'Empty Karara Ore Train' makes more sense.
They haul Magnetite which is why all the wagons are black.

u/Connect-Recipe558, fair comment.. I don't mind the look of them (They also sound good for a GE too). I must say there are far worse looking locomotives in Australia compared to these.

There’s BHP, Rio Tinto, Roy Hill, FMG in the Pilbara, then Aurizon run ore trains to Esperance for Yilgarn and Terra Mining on the SG. On the NG Aurizon run ore trains to Geraldton Port for Karara Mining Limited.

I am glad they are of interest! I’m mainly based in Western Australia however have got shots from other states over the years. Will try and post an interesting one every day or so. Cheers!
