Scott Gould, Crossing trains, Western Plains (PLACES 2023)

Wingeel, in Victoria's Western District no longer has a railway station to call its own, not much of anything these days. However, it still has an important part to play in the railway network, providing a place for trains to pass on the busy Melbourne to Adelaide line, as was the case when I took this image. A Perth to Melbourne freight waits in the loop as the 22 carriage long Great Southern Passenger train heads west.
