Victorian BG grain expansion
Minor historic moment today 4 January 2023, with Southern
Shorthaul Railroad for the first time loading two grain trains at the same time on the broad gauge in Victoria. Up until now a single 34 wagon train has been the max, but recently SSR has transferred more BGKF hoppers from standard to broad gauge.
Today two 21 hopper trains have been loaded, at Woorinen for Emerald Grain, and at Charlton, for Allied Pinnacle.
In the the early days of SSR's broad gauge operations in Victoria, former Victorian Railways S317/S302 head #9198 loaded grain from Sea Lake to Kensington (Melbourne), near Charlton.
