4204, GM10 and S317 blast through East Maitland, where bridgeworks are underway to replace the existing road overbridge at this location. Bridgeworkers give a wave to the passing train, the noise alone generating a pause in work and a glance of interest.
Venerable GM 42 Class unit 4204, owned an operated by The Lachlan Valley Railway was relaunched into service after overhaul on February 13, 2010 with a tour to Dungog and back. 4204 was accompanied by similar veteran units S317 and GM10, both on loan from Southern Shorthaul Railroad.

Lined up around the turntable at Goulburn , New South Wales, during the recent Streamliner 2022 event are GM19 in Australian National colours; Australia's oldest revenue earning loco, GM10 in Southern Shorthaul Railroad colours; and S303 in Victorian Railways blue and gold.
All three were built in Australia by Clyde Engineering, GM19 and GM10 for the Commonwealth Railways and S303 for the Victorian Railways. GM19 is privately owned and a bit of a wreck that may get restored to working order one day. GM10 continues in service with SSR, while S303 is preserved in operational condition by the Seymour Railway Heritage Centre,

A far cry from a current S-Class.
Difficult to know whether it's been here from new. It's RHD and DVLA have it first registered in 1981, but maybe it was untaxed for a while and didn't immediately get transferred onto the computer system? That might explain it being listed as "not taxed for road use".

Hard to believe it is already a year since Richard Jahn and I had a great day out chasing 'bulldogs' in rural Victoria. As I type this (17/4/19) S302 is pushing through the darkness with an empty grain train bound for Manangatang.

I'm sure a few years back you would have been able to get a clearer view of the pseudo street running down Broadway at Whycheproof in Victoria. The plethora of signs and some sizeable trees mean shadows are a real problem at this time of year.
