44214 at The Risk in the 1980s, Michael Harley swapping the staff.

This 442 was scrapped in the late 1980s.

Greg Lee states :

"Seriously, I travelled on a train behind behind a 442 from Central in the early '90s. Before the train departed, I walked forward to look at the loco, as all young boys do. It was very rusty and when I returned to my seat I said to my partner Marilyn, "That thing won't get us there." I was right; it had an engine room fire near Kundabung."

The signalman (Michael Harley) was preparing to carry out a hand exchange of the Electric Staff with the Brisbane bound freight in 1971. The squat Type Q signal box, like Kyogle, had a signal box nameboard on the front wall even though it was on a passenger platform.

There were no protection boards below sill level on the front wall. RT Taaffe
