Approaching 82
Once again set up on the Track 2 platform at Meadowbank following a frantic hop down from West Ryde, a speck of yellow comes into view in the distance. A minute later, the video camera starts rolling as the once small speck forms into the nose of an oncoming freight train.

At 13:59, a trio of Pacific National EMD’s—two Class 82’s sandwiching a Class 81–pass through Meadowbank Station on Pacific National train 1533 northbound on the T9 line up towards Hornsby and points beyond. The days’ 60 car intermodal service was operating between Sydney and Werris Creek hauling containerized goods. 8210, 8126 and 8218 take charge, all sporting company corporate paint.
