I was the fireman on this train, such a long trip from junee. Believe it or not, the S did most of the work over 45km/h up until seymour, where an EDI fitter joined us. The back G (532) was offline, and the front (533) would loose amps after making transition, only to start powering up steep grades when we dropped below 40kmh. To top it off, it seperated at Donnybrook loop after going over mudholes. Great pick to mate!

Thanks - and thanks for the friendly whistle when you passed! We wondered why it took so long from Seymour.
