Things got pretty standard during the first half of 2008 with P classes dominating the locos working out of Narngulu. That all changed when an accident claimed two P classes. All of a sudden the remaining P classes were joined by DAZ, DD & DFZ classes of locos, the latter two classes being ex Queensland Railways 2100 and 2300 locos. Here are a few photos telling the story.
