The above photo shows X 37 on the 8.30am Spencer St to Horsham pass. departing Ararat on News Years Day 1979.
At the time Ararat was the largest crew depot outside of Melbourne, it had a 24 hour yard pilots due to its very busy yard, in every way was the hub of the Western district. The scene below shows Ararat now, almost 30 years later. The broad gauge now ends at Ararat. The place is a shadow of its former self. |
