The Cs were dead attached when the train passed through Tottenham "B"
at 1745, C510 dark, C502 with its parkers on. Train consist actually
was NR83+NR93+C510+C502 (by the number boards): Ron Howship had said
C502 was powering coming into Meloburne, I was hoping for a good
defiant GM growl as they left Melbourne. So if an NR failed (couldn't
happen to a nicer loco <sarcastic chuckle>), it means they started
GOL (Good Old Loco) C502 at, ?Maroona?
