In addition, on Friday May 26, a special service will run from Murwillumbah to Casino for the Casino Beef Week Carnival, which features the Casino Cup sponsored by Northern Rivers Railroad.

                          NL42            NL43

Motive power on these trains will consist of either single or double units (dependant on no. of carriages)
from the Northern Rivers Railroad 421/422 class locomotives.
 
A soy bean program has commenced in the Casino area which could result in some multiple unit lash-ups (if the required grain wagons are released for this traffic) during the next 6-8 weeks. If a quad 421 combo develops, you can rest assured, that this photographer will be convincing his employer (and wife :-) ) of the need of an extended weekend in the Northern Rivers area. I hope this information is useful to anyone contemplating a trip to this delightful area in the coming weeks,
                                                                                                                   Regards,
                                                                                                                     Jamie.
