(4 items) -
Notes:[The A2 was the main express passenger locomotive on Victoria Railways for over 40 years, hauling both intrastate and interstate services. They were responsible for an acceleration of timetables on many lines and famously hauled the “Geelong Flier” service slashing journey times down to 55 minutes from around 90 minutes. They were built at Newport, Ballarat North or the Bendigo Workshops. The A2 was finally superseded in 1951 with introduction of the new R Class.]
