Australia Shunted In 1970’s
Coffs Harbour is a major center on the New South Wales (NSW) north coast of Australia. The railway line linking Sydney with Brisbane runs right through the town.
In the 1970s there was a demand for a shunting locomotive to be allocated to the town. Coffs Harbour was a major loading point for bananas a little locomotive was kept busy shunting bananas.
While the banana shunter was rarely used on the jetty there was plenty of work in the yard. When the government locomotive was unavailable the Maritime Services Board shunter that did most of the work down on the jetty was used to shunt Coffs Harbour railway yard as well.
