EMD Bulldog at Bacchus Marsh |
| Description: |
EMD's bulldog design is alive and well Down Under. V/Line A-class A-70 was built in 1953 as B-70, a double-ended, C-C unit with 1610HP. It was rebuilt into A-class configuration (12-645, 2480HP) in 1983 and continues in service to this day. It's shown here with its train at Bacchus Marsh, about 30 minutes west of Melbourne on the Ballarat line. |

Backbone of the V/Line |
| Description: |
V/Line N-Class N465 has just dropped its train at Southern Cross Station and is headed for the barn on a Saturday afternoon. The 25 units of this class make up the majority of the V/Line's diesel locomotive units. Although most trackage is still broad gauge, the one stretch of dual gauge (standard and broad) track into Southern Cross Station is visable here. It provides access for XPT trains to Sydney and the Overland, which runs tri-weekly to Adelaide. |
