Sprinter 7015 at Flinders St. 2005
|
|
|
|
|
These railmotors were replacements for the DERM and DRC types They can be run in multiple and can be found on the shorter runs out of Melbourne although they have run Bendigo and Albury services.
Most of them are named after local sportspeople. 7019 had a sad, short history, it was scrapped after a driver locked himself out of his cab with the unit still powering at Spencer St in Nov 1996. The unit was barely a year old.
