Greetings.

The 80 class are part of five units based at Werris Creek for
Liverpool Range banking duties. At this stage, only two others are
in use by National Rail as shunters. All the remaining units have
been withdrawn from service.

Full details of the 80 class movements, withdrawals, etc., appear in
The Railway News, published by the New South Wales School Railway
Clubs Association. Please see home page on
