Collie Tour 2002

August

Once again our Black Diamond Explorer headed off to Collie for the second time this year.

It was another weird weather sort of day however this did not stop the full load of passengers from enjoying this great rail journey hauled by W 945 and the popular Pm 706

W945 and Pm706 tackle the steep 1 in 40 grades and sharp curves of the line to Collie
