I was at Lara on this day. N453 failed with a BZN, a BN a BRN and an ACN.
The next train was bought up to push the failed train into Geelong. As it
was 7 cars, the train had to stop twice at each station. The N doing all the
work (now pushing a dead N and 4 cars and hauling its own 7 car 'N' set was
working very hard. Would this be over the load limit for a single N class?
