There was also the time when the rostered d/e for the Inter-Capital
failed before departure from Sydney.    The South Pilot at Eveleigh
was a 36 class and it was used to haul the train to (I understand)
Flemington Markets, by which time, a replacement d/e from Delec was
waiting.   The 36 with its moment of glory!
