Just Pilbara Trains 2001

Take a journey to the Pilbara in the northwest of Australia, a vast landscape stretching to a seemingly endless horizon. Untouched through its isolation this rugged country is deserted and extremely difficult to access.

The only reminders of civilisation are the well travelled rails of the Pilbara region¹s heavy haul railways. The roar from 6000HP locomotives as they climb 1 in 50 grades hauling a 30,000 tonne, 200-plus car train is simply amazing. These locomotives can only be described as massive, standing over 16 feet high and weighing over 190 tonnes they are the most powerful locomotives in Australia today.

In September 2001, Greg Travers spent 14 days following these immense trains through the Pilbara region. You will see two, three and four locomotives up front plus trains with up to three mid-train helpers. Robe River, BHP Iron Ore and Hamersley Iron railways are featured with trackside and pacing footage. Settle back and watch some of the worlds most efficient heavy haul railways at work.

Part of 'The Railway Collection' DVD series.
