Our video opens with scenes on the infamous Warrenheip Bank where G543 (the last G class built) has run out of sand, leaving XR552 unable to lift the load of grain and failed G class on its own. Help was summoned from Geelong in the form of XR550 and XR555.
Barely a week later we head slightly north of Ballarat to the small town of Creswick where XR552 and XR550 had failed. Many hours after failing help arrived in the form of XR554 and XR555, making for what was thought to be the first appearance of quad XR class in this part of the state.
Our final scene was recorded on the day this video was produced, and sees Freight Australia liveried G524 leading BL29, G528, XR550, and failed XR552 through Ballarat East, heading for Geelong.

Thanks for watching!!!
