Not yet ! 
Sitting at Roma st on last Friday evening from around 1700 around 1 in 3
trains are diesel hauled ... including one to Beenleigh sometime between
1700 and 1725. Also the 0726 and 0826 from Milton (and yonder) towards
the
city are diesel. Now and again the 1723 Roma St - Gympie North is diesel
hauling
5 first class sitting cars instead of the 'spirit of rockhapmton' style
IMU.
