Mt Gambier Freight Trains

[bscanlon@dist.gov.au (Ben Scanlon)]

     Hello
     
     Can anyone on the newsgroup tell me when stock ceased to be carried on 
     the Mt Gambier freight.
     
     Also, have V/Line locos ever worked the service - they would have a 
     couple in Mt Gambier occasionally so the potential was there in the 
     event of a failure of AN locos.
     
     Did DA5 ever work the service - I think it entered service in April 
     1995 and the broad gauge to Mt Gambier was cut with the 
     standardisation of Adelaide-Melbourne in August 1995, I think.
     
     When was the last time a Bluebird ran on the line ? Any charter runs 
     after the cessation of services in 1990 ?
     
     I'd also be interested in buying colour photos of Mt Gambier goods 
     from early 80s up until cessation of the service.
