Patrons waiting to board Pichi Richi Railway's narrow gauge Afghan Express in Port Augusta for their journey to Quorn are momentarily distracted by the passing of a Pacific National intermodal train on Saturday May 3, 2025.
6MP4 with NR10-NR118 pass the line of "paparazzi" as it heads west to Perth via the station "bypass" designed to accommodate double-stack containers and hi-cube vehicles under the town's bridges.
This iron lattice road bridge over the Hunter River at Aberdeen (11 km north of Muswellbrook) was built 1891-93 by O. M’Master, and designed by John Alexander McDonald.
It was re-decked in 1937 by A. Goninan and Charles Hardy Contracting Co. Ltd. After the opening of the adjacent new concrete bridge in 2014 the old one was closed to motorists and reused as a foot-bridge.
