Remarks: Having driven eastbound loaded wheatie 8922 down the Blue Mountains, I hand the controls over to my offsider so that I can shoot some video as we rattle along the Speedway. Our train consisting of all NGTY hoppers can do a max of 80 kph where track speeds permit. Had we one or more of the old black NGMA mongrels then we would have been limited to 65 kph. We are on the UP Suburban, the UP Main to our left on the quad track speedway.
