L1158 collecting a GY that had been left on the
goods loop siding 3
days earlier due to a hot bearing.
This has long been one of my favourite photos. I just wish I'd taken more
photos of the L's.

The Traralgon Tait-a-Thon special screeches and sparks along
the little used goods loop at Longwarry. I was looking forward to
photographing it leaving the down end of the loop (relatively picturesque)
but incredibly, on a train full of electric traction enthusiasts, nobody
seemed to know what the "Overhead Permit Ends Here" sign on the overhead
wires meant. Worried that the train might become disabled, it reversed back
out the way it came. The train had already passed the isolating switches.
The signs were for persons loading wagons not to load past the signs when
permission had been obtained to switch the wires off. |

X50 - S302 sit on the mainline at Moe whilst the
crew starts B65 on a siding. This used to be a regular event for a while on
the then lengthy briquette train. Quite why a loco was left here in the
first place I haven't yet been able to find out. |
