1270/1300/1320 class and a consist of bulk grain wagons towards Pinkenba. The rail bridge that the train has crossed was constructed in 1957 as part of the quadruplication of the Ipswich line. The bridge is unusual in that there has never been an official naming ceremony. It is flanked by the Albert Bridge (rail bridge, out of picture to the left) built in 1895, and the Walter Taylor Bridge (in background, vehicular traffic) completed in 1937.
