Goodday Brendan, Great to see my favorite a double dose of DL. That must be about 2010 around then Also double A Class. Did you ever get footage of the cement combo from Geelong to Somerton. Cheers Louis 👍
No idea to be honest. It obviously works for both sides. Heritage gets $ for preservation and freight gets locos at short notice on short term contracts
Depends on the time the train was filmed. There was a drought in NSW and many of the PN trains in particular ran empty to Victoria and loaded up grain to take back to NSW as there was no grain during the drought.
