Pathetic Fallacy
Heavy rain has started coming down over Melbourne as V/Line's N471 winds its way into Armadale hauling the final scheduled locomotive-hauled passenger train in Eastern Victoria. Known since the VR as 'The Gippslander', the Bairnsdale passenger service has been the final locomotive-hauled passenger service to operate to the east of Southern Cross Station.
The locomotive hauled sets on these services have been slowly replaced by V/Line's growing fleet of Vlocity DMU's, with only 1 Bairnsdale service in each direction operated by an N class by the time the final loco-hauled service operated on the morning of Saturday September 14th 2024 as train 8460. 14/9/24
