Road trains

I posted a few photos of cattle road trains in the
Northern Territory to the drop box (thanks Jeff). I think I did it ok
but first time I have posted photos.
Long time lurker.

Has the rail link reduced the number of such on the Stuart
Highway?

Just one improvement:
Can you post a link to the explanatory txt file, and to the pix themselves?
Save us the inconvenience of searching for them...

Loading that many cattle would take hours. I'm curious, why doesn't each
truck just leave as its loaded? I don't see an advantage to everyone driving
so close together. All but the front truck has a terrible view and eats
dust. <If you aren't the lead dog, the view never changes>

Yes, it worked. Royston posted the actual links. Cool heli pics.
I thought you might have been building their trailers, Mac.

In pix 1 & 3 (on the road) - are they moving? If so, how fast (they are
really close together)? Also if so, how come no dust is coming up -
those roads don't look paved.
How's their safety record? An accident is probably spectacular.

BTW - you could make great panoramas with stitching software. I've used
the free Microsoft research version:

VERY impressive

And if you're going to tow three trailers, you might as well put some
weight on them...

The first few times you see one of those coming at you at 45mph on the
private dirt logging roads in northern Maine some serious puckering is
guaranteed.

was going to ask why they are all standing still. :-)
(absolutely no dust storm rising) :-)

Reduced aerodynamic drag.
REply:
Lots of those road trains are a couple miles long and one big tractor
pulling. Not a lot of trucks.

take a rocket scientist to foresee but politicians and bureaucrats just had
our money to burn.
