would they have required all three units "on line"?  Could the GMs have
been idling, the CL taking the lead "for show"?

Grahame Fergus posted that in the inaugural westbound IP ex Pt. Pirie,
GM 47
would have to be the middle unit.  I intend to agree as it stands to
reason
that GM25 (without it's MU connections on the No.1 end) would have real
difficulty being the middle unit.  "The Recorder", however, states that
the
train departed Pt. Pirie as CL1+GM25+GM47.  I would suspect that it may
be a
case of incorrect reporting over 30 years ago.

Mark
