NR91 Pays a Visit

The club is located right alongside the access siding to UGL’s Bassendean loco workshops and as such we are often treated to the rumble of some big locos slowly making their way past the clubrooms.

Such a visit occurred today (28th Feb 2024) when NR91 and an unidentified class mate (both in Pacific National livery) were making their way from the workshops back in to service.

Also shown in this update are some Mineral Resources locos heading in to the UGL loco works for servicing down the access siding that runs alongside the club.
