ABOVE: Melbourne used to have dozens of pilots working around Melbourne's many yards. Tottenham yard was also an extremely
busy yard so many movements occurred between the two areas. Here we see an unknown pilot running between
Melbourne and Tottenham (at West Footscray) with a very short train.

ABOVE: The day return trains that operated out of Melbourne on Sundays were called "Sunday Excursion Trains"
and from the early 80's on always featured double heading due to the fact that should a train hauled
by a single loco break down there were no other trains around to get a replacement loco from.
