GM1 and 80 years of the Trans

The Trans Australian Railway will be 80 years old on the
12th October 1997, I wonder if GM1 will "commemorate" this
event with a run across Australia.

GM1 covered more miles/kilometres than any other locomotive
in Australia and was only surpassed by an USA EMD E unit.
It would be fitting that this loco lead a train across the
longest straight stretch of track in the world.
