In this video, we will see 3 trains passing through the Gawler Rd, Virginia railway crossing, situated on the ARTC Adelaide-Crystal Brook main line on the 3rd of April, 2021.

Our first train is One Rail Australia 7AD1 with EMD locos GWA003 and CLF6 plus FDDY1 crew car (formerly Bluebird Trailer 101). This train has a two day journey from Adelaide to Darwin of a bit over 2750 kilometers, and departs Adelaide every Saturday afternoon. However, the 5 other Adelaide to Darwin services run by ORA during a week depart Adelaide during darkness.

Our next train we see through Galwer Rd is return One Rail Australia Bowmans Grain Train (4152s). The motive power of this trip consisted of ex ANR and CR locos, ALF18 (AL21) and CLF6 (CL6) respectively, both built in the 1970s powered by Turbocharged EMD 16-645's. This service is destined for the Port Flat export facility, unlike most One Rail grain trains which end up at Outer Harbour.

The last train we see is a Pacific National intermodal hauled by two members of a very controverial class amongst railway enthusiasts. 6MP5's motive power for this trip consists of NR51 and NR8
