Class 19D, No 2478 Maclear Branch, June 1980

Post by Steve Appleton »

Posted on behalf of the photographer, Dennis Mitchell:
Had a lovely but cold time chasing this train on the Maclear line in June 1980.
The thing that I thought would be of interest is the amount of traffic in the Maclear yard in 1980. Also a thing I noticed were the dates (1975-1983) on the tarps; obviously manufacture and scrapping dates. What a great idea!! Aussie tarps did not have this.
