B80 is on its way to Canberra on the oil train tonight again you must be getting sick of the sight of it you would think the Alco King could pull a few strings and get something else on the oil
I dont ride trains I know the people that drive them !!!!

Not sure how long I can keep MY "B" but unfortuniatly all good things come to an end. I personly don't like to take engines off line unless i shut them down completly. We usualy run both engines untill Goulburn where i take the front off line untill we get close to Wingello bank where it is put back online to save time. I then like to shut the rear unit down. ( this is when i can be bothered). otherwise i leave them on line all the way home. I might see how the B goes by itself on the way home if the load isnt too heavy.

According to the people who are incharge of our engines, Tonights 1293 will be the last trip for the B to Canberra.

That is sad news, but hopefully something else just as interesting will be up this way soon. Rumour is it could be GM10.
Pesumably B80 will be going back to Melbourne on Friday's SM9?

Power up nice and gently Alco King, you don't want to send that A1A-A1A job into a wheel spin!
Happy Gunzelling and remember, "Go by rail!"

Speaking of GM's... anyone know what's happening with GM22? Haven't heard of it in a while now, and last I knew it was still down in Melbourne in Great Northern colours
Mr. Anderson... surprised to see me?
