The mid-Northern region of South Australia symbolises a timeless beauty that may only be complimented by the enromity of the trains which battle to conquer its extreme climate and terrain diversity.
From the gently sloping farming plains of Snowtown and the majestic river gums which occupy the rugged hostile gorges to the spectacular mountainous backdrops of the Flinders Ranges which contrast the harsh semi-arid landscape of vast salt lakes scattered throughout this unforgiving environment.
Desert Storm transcends a memorable rail journey along the majestic environs of the Port Augusta to Leigh Creek railway with quad GM's in charge of 160 loaded coal wagons destined for the furnaces of the Port Augusta power station.
We reflect on a time when CL's, DL's and GM's dominated much of the rail traffic haulage throughout South Australia's North Western Region.
Desert Storm encapsulated the very essence of heavy rail freight haulage throughout some of the most stunning yet inhospitable terrain within Australia.
Desert Storm is a must for all Bulldog enthusiasts.
