The stationmaster (or whatever!) at Kilmore East said that it had run to
Kilmore East a few days this week, but unfortunately for me, it wasn't running
today. :-(

I took two videos of G543 at Kilmore East in November. One of the down train
and the other of the up. The horn on the Kilmore East end of the loco seems to
be slightly higher pitched than the other, or are my ears just stuffed? :-)

I don't mind seeing 81 class locomotives, especially as I don't have many
photos of them.
