Afternoon all,
Scott, SA5 stopped running as a separate train shortly after the 80 class 
were returned to Fright Corp and the loading was attached to SM5 to Melb 
where it was added to an Adel train.
As far as I am aware this is still the case.
Maybe from a marketing point NRC "seels" this service as if it was a train 
in its own right.
A pity it doesn't run anymore as shortly before its demise it usually ran 
with double, triple and quad 80 class. They sounded good coming towards 
Picton when I used to live there. You could sometimes hear the Alcos 
climbing Spaniards hill when the atmospherics were right and could still 
hear them going thru Redbank tunnel & Tahmoor.
Sorry for the Digression, but I am one of the peculiar breed who likes 80 
class (and most other Alcos).
Regards
Ivar
