The Morning at Taree

On Thursday morning we hit the road and the first stop was Taree.  We jumped out of the car and someone was talking to a local who advised that a train was immanent.  So after about 5 minutes, the level crossing light and bells sounded.  The southbound empty steelie was heading through.  No sooner had it pulled up in the loop, when a northbound local freight was heading towards Grafton, with cement and empty sugar wagons in tow.

Here is the empty steelie.
