CKS 2000 Class '2026' departs Almaden to head for Cairns



Long Description:
Queensland Rail 2000 Class '2026' and '2028' leased to Cairns Kuranda Steam Railway for operation of the Savannahlander passenger service are seen departing from Almaden at 9am on service 5C99; about 3 hours earlier than it would usually be on a regular journey back to Cairns from Forsayth. That week, the Savannahlander was only operating shortened runs from Cairns - Almaden and return due to flood and rain damage further west of Almaden meaning the train was irregularly scheduled!
Gauge: 3ft 6in [1,067mm]
@thecairnsrailfan Hi! Can you please help, is this unit on the picture operating by the CKS too https://trainspo.com/photo/5440/ ?
@ter Hello Mikhael; yes I can help. Since that was taken in 2011; yes that would be a CKS operated Savannahlander service. Ever since 2004; the Savannahlander has been operated by the Cairns Kuranda Steam Railway. I hope this helps!
@thecairnsrailfan Thanks a lot 👍
