February 1959 and you can almost feel a stinking hot Northern Victorian summer's heat looking at these photos of K 172 shunting wheat at Gredgwin, a tiny location just north of Boort on the Robinvale line. whilst running an up train. Despite the heat the guard seems duty bound to keep his vest on! Thanks to Sally Garner for making these photos available.
