I sighted 8035 and 8025 on the gravel train at Rozelle this morning. Looks
like this train may be the last to see regular 80 class workings however
it appears that there have been a few loco shortages in recent days where
a spare 80 or 2 would have come in handy.

Aus loco discussion mailing listMorning all,
the following is a list of active 80 class as at 31st March 2000:Werris Creek: 8012, 8032, 8042, 8046
Lithgow: 8007, 8011, 8015, 8017, 8025, 8033, 8035, 8039 & 8047.
Of this group, I know that 8007 and 8035 (and possible others) are equipped
with the appropriate radio gear to allow them to lead state wide. These
units will appear from time to time on the Canberra oil trains and other
selected services but no specific working patterns are in existance at
present apart from the sandstone trains.I have been advised that Freighcorp is conducting a major reshuffle of its
loco allotments and I should have details late next week. This is due to the
closing of Port Kembla as a loco depot.Have a hap-hap-happy day!
Ivar
