The word from inside V/Line Freight is that it is important for marketing

this will probably take up the bulk of the G class fleet. Up to fifteen 81s may
be leased from FreightCorp to cover V/Line grain traffic.Can anyone confirm any
of this?



I don't believe that freightcorp have any spare 81 class units. NRC however may
have spare 81s if they ever get the NRs running reliably. Maybe they should
consider a lease of the Silverton 442s for V/Line freight and the odd 80 Class
with its cotton wool unwrapped and reoiled. Also there could be ELs on offer .
