STORED ALCO'S

IT LOOKS LIKE THE FINAL ERA OF 44 CLASS OPERATIONS HAS JUST ABOUT ARRIVED WITH 4458, 4477 & 4488 NOW STORED OUT OF SERVICE AT JUNEE, ALL 3 REQUIRE REPLACEMENT ENGINE BLOCKS DUE TO EXCESSIVE CORROSION WITHIN THE BLOCK WHICH IS ALLOWING WATER TO LEAK INTO THE ENGINE OIL, THE 44'S HAVE BEEN MOVED TO OUTSIDE STORAGE TO ALLOW THE ENTIRE GRAINCORP LOCO FLEET TO BE PLACED IN STORAGE WITHIN THE JUNEE ROUNDHOUSE, 4497 IS NOW THE ONLY 44 CLASS STILL IN REGULAR SERVICE.
