Sounds like a good reason. T class getting very old, like NSWGR class 48's. Both types still in service.
I saw couple of T class hauling a starch train at Sutherland.
Garretts vs 1960's Diesel Electric Locos on 1 in 40 Bank
Looked somewhat out of place. Since then, 81's have taken over. I think the main complaint was low speed attained with this unpowered loco set.

Thanks for video. Why don't the operators turn one of the end locos around so they don't need to swap ends ?
Some details from-
LocoPage is a Web site about Australian diesel and electric locomotives
Power1460 kW / 1950 HP (1st series)
1490 kW / 2000 HP (2nd, 3rd series)
2460 kW/ 3300 HP (X38, XR series 1 & 2 & XRB)
I have seen the X class around Sydney, mainly on interstate freights to Brisbane. Might even end up as coalies

Am told that the cabs on the X class is much better/comfortable than the T/H/P class. There's no reason I'm aware of that the T/H/P class can't lead long end either. If I where a driver I'd be swapping them if possible as well for a better ride. Run to Geelong takes 8 hours thanks to the schedule.
