Back when I actually enjoyed going to work, we were still government and proud, and tradition still pervaded the NSW rail scene, I regularly carried the camera in my work bag.
While working west bound freighter 8329, powered by two shoe box aussie alco 2000 hp 80 class CE615 four strokers, we got put away into Blayney to allow the westbound Dubbo XPT service WT27 to overtake us. Looking at the 1989 shot, I am reminded just how things here have changed. The "Late 7 days" logo emblazoned on the XPT power car, the 80 class, plus all that tradition in Blayney yard.
Ho hum.
