Dead? Far from it! Why else would someone chase a train over about 500km 
(As done on Monday-Tuesday, chasing 9137/9138) (:

While on this subject, what is the longest distance someone has ever chased 
one train? 

As above, Chris G and I chased 9137/9138 from North Geelong to Cowangie 
over monday and tuesday. For the duration, the train went through two loco 
changes (Maryborough remove S310 and add G525 G526, Ouyen remove X39), four 
crews (North Geelong - Maryborough, Maryborough - Donald, Donald - Ouyen, 
Ouyen - Cowangie), and a one way trip totalling about 18 hours one way. 
9138 is the return trip, btw.
