G’day all, Today was the monthly Steam train sunday tour, with the recently rebuilt C17 steam locomotive #974. I believe this is now QR’s 5th Steam locomotive in operation.

Here it is about to depart Roma St Train station, the origin of the journey.

Charging by at 70km/h on the first run to Pinkenba.

Heading back to Roma Street.

Here it is passing us by on a footbridge at 55km/h.

Express through a suburban train station at approximately 50km/h.

I hope you enjoyed the pics,

Jim

I very nice looking locomotive and train. By the way, what about freight trains in Brisbane? I have some relatives living in Melbourne and said me there we see only passenger trains.
