ttc0169 Posted December 17, 2022 Author Share Posted December 17, 2022 Gearing up for the busy Christmas season we see preparations being made to increase train sizes….the first set to be increased was the Cravens-9 Cravens and 2 BR GSVs, Locomotives 124+134 assist with the shunting as 018 has a single GSV 3189 to add to the rake of Cravens Also a number of mail trains are scheduled to operate-the first of these is seen here arriving at platform one behind locomotives 160+192 in what is a mixed livery formation from the late 1980s era. The local P&T van awaiting the mail bags. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttc0169 Posted January 15, 2023 Author Share Posted January 15, 2023 When 152+132 were due an exam at the MPD the opportunity was taken to replace them at Tara junction station, When they arrived working the BELL liner it was discovered by locomotive fleet control that the only available option was 071 class locomotive 087, The locomotive was duly dispatched and replaced both small GMs-here we see 087 working the Northwall-North esk BELL liner through the station. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
