Up Turned Digger

Where:  Bylong Valley Way, Upper Hunter

We were travelling between Rylestone and Denman in the Upper Hunter valley, coal country, when we were slowed by an accident.
A low loader had overturned on a corner with this expensivee digger on board.
Not just the usual ditch digger, but you can see that it can travel on the railway tracks as well as on it's own caterpillar wheels.
The bucket is on the road, damaged.
In the background is the tail end of a km long coal train, four locos up front, mighty impressive.
The accident happened 2 hours before our arrival, and it was going to be a long day for the clean up crew.
Glad I wasn't paying for repairs. Picture taken on the move out of the car window by Mrs TF, she did well to capture it so well. Just the side of the caravan on the left.
Today, again no running, sunny but very cool in the southerly winds. Heaps of snow in parts of the Central Tablelands where we were a couple of days ago.
