V/Line Passenger Trains at Warrnambool with S 302

[@mycroft1905]

Five carriages and a goods van. Hmm... Fourteen years later, we get 4 carriages and no goods van as standard rake. Last saw a classic streamliner at Warrnambool circa 2013 at Merrivale container yard; A81 ex B81; scrapped now :~((

A71 was the last A class to run the Warrnambool and was the last freight hauled by an A class. That was 6 years ago.

+casperblackcat1975 Thanks! The only video I ever got of this beast on a V/Line Passenger train.

Remember going for a ride In the cab of a S Class loco so It bought back some memories.

Lucky man!

Warrnambool Yard has changed #ALOT these days, the Former WCR Carriage Maintenance Workshop & sidings was/were still standing as evidenced here Jan. 2006 (some 16Mths since WCR ceased operations on Tues. 31. Aug. 2004) ~ it was removed entirely & no trace of it ever having existed, by June 2006 at the latest, a new siding around 2015 was constructed / relaid to stable & clean the 17:13 Down Pass Arrival for forming a 09:05 Up Pass Next Morning Mon. - Fri. ...

[@Schony747]

At least the turntable is still in use!

[@VictorianRailHeritage]

Dalts1985 The Freight Shed is gone now as well

[@VictorianRailHeritage]

JS317Productions yes I know that but they still should of kept the old shed just for looks

[@Dalts1985]

Victorian Rail Heritage ~ sadly it was full of asbestos & falling down thru years of neglect, they were meant to preserve some of the timber frame work, but just like the timber arches of the Hopkins River Bridge were to be preserved & DISPLAYED, nothing has ever come of both commitments that were made...

[@someonethatyouknow7604]

I remember going to warnambool from Melbourne in first class but it was an N class not S class

[@VictorianRailHeritage]

Joseph Nyoni yes they sold there s class to el Zorro and then SSR

[@Tookarooks]

Remember Peter from the old days..

[@Schony747]

Yes me too!

[@zanevoges3360]

Why was X42 sitting it the yard?

[@tstrains711]

My guess is it would have/waiting to been turned and was waiting to go to West VIC Frieght sidings

[@Schony747]

Very good question. In my time visiting Warrnambool it wasn't uncommon in that era to have a spare loco stabled near the station.

[@Gaminggunzeller]

At least their is 3 S classes that remain on railtours.

[@Schony747]

S303, S313 and S306 while 707 ops have access to the PN S.

[@Gaminggunzeller]

@@Schony747 Cool

[@jackybeck2479]

The three S classes in preservation and operational for tours, I think S310 at the SRHC is under an overhaul as well, and only a week ago S307 was sold to the SRHC too, wondering if it will operate again.
