The ore trains used by the minerals industry in Australia are the country's longest and sometimes heaviest - commonly 2KM long with three diesel engines hauling 200 wagons, each of which carries 100 tons of ore. This is Hamersley Iron's Class EMD SD50S locomotive 6063 hauling a train in Pilbara Region in Australia.Whether it's an almost vertical shuttle up a mountain or a voyage aboard a luxury carriage, a rail journey can be a unforgettable experience. So climb aboard and watch the landscape roll past through my blog. Discover the beauty of the world on trains. I will be happy to hear from you. E. Mail me on ravindrar@sltnet.lk
