That would have been LVR's train, hauled by an ex V/line X-class loco, 4486
and one of the 47's which LVR has running.

Probably ex-AN vehicles.

NR operate the quarry trains from Dunmore (Shellharbour) quarry on the NSW
south coast line, generally using a pair of ex-AN DL class diesels (since I
live just across the road from the railway line near Waterfall station I get
to hear it regularly almost every weekday!). I don't know where this train
goes to, but it could well be travelling to a destination on the Botany line
somewhere.

Craig.
