(AUS) Steam trains, Williams Landing & General trains

[Pakenhamtrain]

G'day all.
Wandered into town and out to Williams Landing on the 28th and snapped a few pics.

 

K153 sits in Platform 8B on the rear end of the Steamrail shuttle to Williamstown

The displays on Platform 7 and 8. Showing the next departure and following 5 departures and 3 arrivals on the platforms.

At the other end of the train is D³ 639. Although D³ 639 isn't the real one. In 1956 the real 639 was withdrawn as Commissioners engine in 1956. They selected the next best example of a D³ locomotive at the time. Both locomotives were sent to Nth Ballarat where parts(such as chrome fittings) from 639 were transferred to 658. The renumbering was due to the Commissioners being fond of 639 and the long service it gave.
Here it stands tall in the VR Commissioners livery.
