Greetings from NZ. Thanks for sharing these great shots Tim from an area that doesn't feature so much here. About the train numbers, is last 2 digit suffix departure date? What about 51 added to primary train number?

John, the particular train symbol in this photo indicates;
A:Short haul regional freight
417: Train number 417
5: Originated in Western Region (everything west of Biggar, SK)
1: First section of the train (A41752 06 would be the second section if it ran)
06: The date the train originated on

Thanks Tim. Are trains regularly split at some point or are the two sections from different origins?
