Sitting in the loop at Allumatta on Freight Victoria 9692, G522 all green
and Golden, and a blue 81 rounds the bend belching enough thick black smoke
to start the local CFA Sirens off automatically.
Quick as a flash I thinks " that can't be a GM doing all that" and I calls
up the Driver.."What you got behind that 81, doing all that  polluting?"
"Well I dont know anything about them" he says," I got the mirrors turned
in, and I am nearly at Albury!"
AS "Gash" passed I saw the cause, two 48's doing a real Alco job!
And they have been running back and forwards most of the week. Good on ya
Gash! bet you know something about them now?
