A big storm was hanging around, with bouts of brilliant sun and black sky.
However, it gloomed over as 9712 approached.
A rare wide-eyed shot that looks good with the head in the window.

This was the first (?) train to do normal speed over the Ararat- Maroona section
after months of it being a 40 kph, 3 km mudhole

I found out the hard way, I packed up and plodded to Tatyoon as normal, no need to rush when
the trains doing 40kph !!

But I got to Tatyoon as it passed by. Damn.

It was GOOD whilst it lasted thou !!
