G543 and XR552 barely made it up the steep 1 in 50 Warrenheip Bank before the train stalled under the load of the 600 metre long loaded grain.

The train sat at Warrrenheip Bank for much of the day until the XR locomotives arrived to assist with the train. The XR Diesel Locomotives are seen arriving during the last light of the day with wet conditions. The locos attach and are departing with the disabled grain consist. With extra horsepower and all 4 locomotives on line, the train finally made easy work of Warrenheip Bank.
