G'day all,
I'm still getting over Good Fridays'
parallel drag between the two "eighters" (3801 & 3830) & the
two (one `hot' and the other a `not so hot') R classes (R711 &
R761).
To all those people (there were
hundreds at least) who stood in glorious Autumn sunshine at Glenrowan (Vic) and
witnessed the parallel drag up the grade and through that SG loop/BG yard
remnants, I'm very envious!
I was too many cars back in the BG
consist to get "full bottle" of this magnificent "storming of the
grade". What a sight and sound spectacular that was!! Where else in the world can you see
four steam locos with two trains running parallel for a couple of hundred
kilometres or so at speed? Australia... the "lucky country".
On a sad and anticlimactic note
however, anyone know what happened to "Blunty" between Kilmore East
& Somerton Loop? Will 3830 (I'm going straight on descriptions now!)
"get a guernsey" for the rest of the trip through western
Vic?
See ya
AH
