Very nice! Where do they swap the bogies these days now that the Midland workshops are closed?

But how do they get them there? I'm assuming the railcars are transported across the Nullabor on standard gauge bogies, but the line to Nowergup is narrow gauge.

So the Midland 'shop is still in occasional operation? I think it had shut down.
Thanks for the picture!

Yeah, I was under the impression that the rail areas of Midland were a museum town. Today I learned!

They hide them in there until they are ready and required for use.
Once the bogies are fitted and some cosmetic work, they get haled to Claisbrook

For bandwidth reasons you can't upload them directly here, so instead upload using a service like
imgur and use the "insert image link" in a post here with the URL of your uploaded picture.
