RE: R711 Friday/other sightings
Aus loco discussion mailing list
When R711 had reached around the armcoe culvet, the loco clocked 25,000 km's
snice being back in service with WCR.
Craig where were you, i chased it from the marsh to ballan via the back
roads, and the roads were full of black smoke from the R and dust from the
car, but no one elese. then went to Warrnambool.

G'day,
spent the day off gunzeling (what a surprise eh?) and found:
On the Ballarat line:
R711 crossed A-FSH-PH at Parwan, then went onto Bacchus Marsh and was
run through by N loco - N set, which crossed N loco - FSH set at Bank
Box loop (unusual for two loco hauled trains on the Ballarat on a
weekday), the latter crossing R711 at Bacchus Marsh. I was at the well
known armco culvert on Ingliston Bank, with similar loads (711 had
BK-BK-WAL, the N loco had a 3 car N set), I reckon 711 was matching the
speed of the N loco up the bank - but was substantially smokier :)
Moving on to Geelong:
9121 had G515+X37+T40(? - the FA one)+X46, 9137 had Axx+S307, 9123 had
G+X+X47, the 1600 goods to Melb (9420?) had G511, T392 ran a local trip
out to Corio to collect oil pots, 8232 had B61, the log train had
T+T396, and 9080 had a G.
Cheers,
Craig.
