[@robertaquilina3848]

these units were running numerous goods trains to all the provincial cities here in victoria when i worked on them looking for a pissy red light from the goods guard some distance back to do a changeover was all the technology then

[@Schony747]

That's a blast from the past! And these locos still just keep going on and on!

[@Trainspottervic]

At least you still have them and that's a good thing. A number over here have made it into the heritage ranks as well

[@robertaquilina3848]

everyday equipment in the eigties hauling real trains with brakevans i was all part of it as a loco assistant come loco driver

[@Schony747]

Some call it some of the best days in the railways. I'm sure the crews appreciate the comforts of today as well

[@Extrikit]

Any idea of the gradient at that Woodend section?

[@Schony747]

That I don't know. Warrenheip is 1:50 and it's not that steep

[@archmcdonald6170]

why do we in Vic have 2 to 5 locos at the front instead of spreading them through out the consist, is it because direct wire coupling is better than radio control?

[@reubenab6005]

Best guess is because it for grain and at Kensington mills you can’t spread the locos out. Other than that I have no clue but vicsig might have something about it.

[@Schony747]

Not sure either. Maybe it's the age of the locos and rolling stock
