The new SCT loco depot at Laverton is underway, the foundations started about a month ago, the roof was put up some time in the past week. It is hidden along the back of the yard, with all of the sidings between it and the main line.

Going from the information in the caption, the people of Parkes must be shocked to know they are no longer part of NSW

Bing, it only says that they are being delivered to SCT in Victoria, meaning I assume that they will be taken over and checked out at Laverton (or perhaps Galvin , if you were feeling pedantic and had seen the short lived location sign at the junction point).
In fact, EDI use the "LV" order prefix for the SCT units making SCT, in some way, the successor to VR!
More of concern to me is the thought that the train will be split at Jindalee! I assume this means the double crossovers north of Cootamundra (where the bidirectional signalling ends) rather than the plain track at the site of the vanished station of that name. This would allow the train to proceed to Coota West and the new locomotives to proceed south.

Apparently they won a title, "king of the mountain" (maybe better put as 'king of the Cowan Bank") ...

My question: what were they compared against?
