Grafton, Spring 1976

Earlier this year I acknowledged Phil Clarke's passing. Since then I have been fortunate in receiving some of Phil's photographs, including this neat little set of South Grafton in September 1976. True to the times, he shot in black and white using a trusty instamatic so please do not adjust your screens. Here is a nice location shot of the depot.


Phil then managed these three shots of 4303 being prepared for a working southwards, almost certainly to Broadmeadow.




And he wasn't averse to snapping the newer locos - like the yard shunter, 7318.  44204 is the mainliner in the background.


More from me, and Phil, over the coming months.

Cheers,
Don
