Re: [Ausloco] V/Line engines working in South Australia and reverse....

["ben scaro" <bscaro@hotmail.com>]

Hi Craig

many back issues of Catchpoint have reported on the doings of 930s in 
Victoria.  They seem to have been most used on Geelong passengers, but other 
workings were also reasonably common.

As Mark Carter says, AN were indebted to V/Line for making so many units 
available for the Melb-Adelaide superfreighters and would have been OK about 
V/Line using their power when it was laying over in Melbourne.  Conversely, 
AN were probably less likely to use V/Line power on their trains as this 
would have increased their indebtedness.  Also, there are far fewer short 
day runs around Adelaide than Melbourne.

Cheers

Ben
