830 class loco's are still in use in Parkeston as shunt loco's. NRC uses
them to perform trip train duties between Kalgoorlie and Parkeston.
Occasionally they see service between Parkeston and Loongana for the
Loongana lime train, although this is not a regular occurrence. They are
also used to rescue stranded loco's from time to time.
Hope this clears up the mess.
