Working beside the Western Main Line, I've watched the Bacchus Marsh
pass (morning and evening) for years now with high and low numbered
A's working the train (the "Pass assigned" locos are A60,62,66,70).

But if what you say *is* the case, have the A's gone from the 1719 for
a reason? I must drop into Dynon tomorrow on the way to work and see
if anyone knows.
