Maryborough Pilot Transfer

On Christmas Eve, 2008; BL32 towed Y119 - the former Ballarat yard pilot to Maryborough as a re-allocation move due to the Ballarat Goods Yards being closed by Pacific National.
Y119's stay as Maryborough pilot was brief, and the loco returned to Melbourne for storage dead attached to an Up grain movement in early March 2009.

At 1.27, is that Clunes station (private home for a while now), more famous in Mad Max where the Night Riders leftovers were picked up, "Remember him when you look at the night sky...."

@KG84C No mate, It's Talbot station which is in use as a nursery. Clunes is derelict and has been boarded up for around 10 or so years - quite a sad sight.

Nice video and the BL has a nice whistle.

Yeah it does. Seems to be deeper than most locos with Supertyphons. We have nicknamed BL32 "Burpie", as it sound like somebody belching.
