ABOVE: S 304 pauses in the back platform at Murtoa while running the morning down Dimboola pass. The tracks on the right were the "loco sidings" interestingly the turntable could only be accessed from this via a mainline track.
BELOW: The same train departing Murtoa photographed from the coal bins that can be seen on the right in the above photo, the C van was a regular on the Hopetoun DERM when vangoods exceeded the capacity of the DERM.
March 30 1970.
