Have there been any "expressions of interest" or such like noticed by
anybody. I find it surprising that there has actually been an order
placed, perhaps it is really an expression of interest.

Beside, I thought that V/Line was broke. :-))

Enjoy the "bones" while you have them. The last intensive loco hauled
operation in Australia in Melbourne to Geelong.............

If there are plans for 50 two car sets, it would be the end of all
locomotive hauled trains.
