[Ausloco] Carriage Shed Dynon was ATN L Class in Melbourne

[David Langley <del@ancc.com.au>]

Second posting, sorry for two but I am correcting regauge to dual
gauged. Now for original posting correcting David Bromage.

"No, no, no. The two roads were both sg when constructed and remained as
such until around the late '80's (someone will have the correct date)
when one road was dual gauged to permit the Overland and Mildura
Overnight train to be serviced there. At that time the only sg o'night
sg train operating was the SEx/MEx. The Spirit and the Aurora were both
serviced in the carriage shed whilst they were separate trains."
