C 507 on 9130 Adelaide to Melbourne "jet" winds around the sharp curves between Bacchus Marsh and Parwan. As part of the RFR project in 2005 these curves were rebuilt on a new alignment to allow higher speeds.
Nov 28 1985


R 730 on a down Dimboola pass. at Parwan, April 18 1953


B 63 - X 36 on the up Overland at Parwan, this was the last time I saw a B class on the Overland. 1982


Parwan "ceased to be" on Feb 4 1984 when it was disestablished as a electric staff station and replaced by Parwan loop, here we see C 508 on
an up jet a few weeks after, the removal of the yard tracks is well under way.
