G'day.

Sorry, but under the vestings, State Rail did end up with some diesel
locomotives, including the 44s, 35 & 45s at Cardiff recently sold to
Rail Services Australia.   Other units in the collection were some 48s
and 442s.   All had been officially written off prior to 1/7/1996.

Similarly, FreightCorp owns two steam locomotives, one which was
donated to Powerhouse well before 1/7/1996 and the other is currently
on display at ATP.   No - not the green one, the small black one.
Not No. 18!
