Doomed Locos?
PN’s serviceable DL class loco quintuplets (DL44, DL43, DL41, DL47 and DL50) are seen in warm storage at Werris Creek locomotive depot. These locos are currently surplus to requirements, being placed into storage in August 2023 with a huge downturn in grain traffic in Northwestern NSW. With the coming handover of PN’s haulage contract with Manildra to SSR in November, which will see 25 more Bulk 81 and 82 class locomotives freed up, these DL’s may very well never run in service again.
