Kyancutta, this shot shows three of the types of waggon used, former Australian National narrow gauge ENHG type bogie grain waggon ENHG 3, originally built by Moore Road Ind, Victoria as NB type NB 1398 ballast hopper for the NAR, then to standard gauge in 1975 as BA type BA 1540, recoded to AHTY in 1980, to EP April 1984, recoded to NHG type NHG 6 in May 1984, then again to ENHT type ENHT 6 in March 1985 and further rebuilt forming one half of ENHG type grain waggon in August 1986. The conversion involved splicing two AHTY-ENHT type waggons together at Port Lincoln workshops, an HCN type HCN 4, was modified at Islington Workshops in 1978-80 and started life as a Tulloch built NHB type iron ore hopper for the CR on the North Australia Railway in 1968-69, and an SAR built HAN type as they are shunted back into the grain siding for loading. 11th January 2006.
