December sightings: Geelong line

[Peter Donaghy <PeterDo@als.com.au>]

Aus loco discussion mailing list

These are some of my youngest brother's sightings during December -
mostly through Werribee.  They give a good overview of the combinations
occurring on the Geelong line.  Are these sorts of postings useful, or a
bit "gunzelly"?  Any comments direct to me please, so we don't clutter
up Ausloco!
