8035 on West



Aus loco discussion mailing list

Good Morning
 
Train No 8136 left Dubbo last night on time at  18:00 with 8241 leading 4854 and 48150. On arrival at Lithgow (00:10) 8241 detached and placed on to 1879 empty mill wheat to Parkes (00:50 departure). Two 86 classes and a 48 class attached to 4854 and 48150 and left Lithgow with train No 8136 at 01:10.
 
Crossed 1871 Empty Manildra containers at Wallerawang (23:50) with 8035 leading 8118. A very unusual occurance considering the 81 class has better cab amenities.
 
After a breif period the big alcos might have another resurgance on the West. Before Christmas quite a few were seen out this way.
 
It's a pity we dont get those EL's out this way. I am quite envious of you guys having a field day with those things. Price you pay for living out in the bush I guess.
 
Does anyone know of  the days of operation/timetables for the Freight Victoria log trains out of Wallerawang. I would like to get down there and do some photography.
 
Dave
Way out West
