Y157 is in Echuca yard at present
(1450 hrs). Will probably return to Bendigo on 9084 tonight d/a. This class is a
very rare visitor these days. Reminds me of the days when Y class were virtually
the only class to operate over the river into NSW via the 'old' road/rail
bridge... that is, until the then V/Line weighed some of its T class and found
that they were not as heavy as first thought and promptly allowed the lighter
T's to operate as well as the Y's over the 'old' bridge into NSW. The new
bridge, opened in March 1988 or thereabouts can, of course, take any class of
loco.
Y157 is usually seen this time of
year (read grain season) operating out of Bendigo up the Echuca line to Goornong
and Elmore on grain jobs (drop off empties - take loaded hoppers back to
Bendigo). Rarely, if ever, does it venture to Echuca anymore.
X44 is back again, off 9083 last
night - did the Moulamein NSW & return job at 0500 hrs this morning but no
Deniliquin NSW job this afternoon.
Very disappointed in Mark Carters'
decision... I enjoyed his contribution. Why couldn't he do what I
do... ignore their infantile 'banter' via the delete button!
See Ya
