Empty Grain at Biscuit Bridge |
| Description: |
The usual pair of 81-class units bring their empty grain train downgrade near "Biscuit Bridge" in the Cullerins on the South Main. As a local explained to me several years ago the structure, which carries the Old Hume Highway over the tracks, had a truck loaded with biscuits (cookies to us in the US) go out of control and end up on the tracks, closing the line for a period. It's been "Biscuit Bridge" ever since. |

Overpowered Wheatie |
| Description: |
Five 81-class units (8138, 8113, 8125, 8165, 8155) bring an empty grain train (a "Wheatie" down here) downgrade through the Cullerin Range on a March afternoon. There are only 30 cars in this train; two units are normal, so this would appear to be a power balancing effort. |

One GM and four ALCOS |
| Description: |
A 'down' empty grain train runs at track speed behind a single Clyde/EMD 81-class unit and four Alco 48-class DL-531s. The consist would seem to indicate that this train is bound for a light rail branch where the 129-ton 81-class will be dropped and the 76-ton "Branchliners" will be right at home. |
