X40 and S312 are shutdown adjacent to the turntable.

Over at the fuel point are T388, T356, B81 and B61, while T381 sits within the maintenance shed. While V/Line has been in existence for 9 months, only one of the thirteen locos at the depot has received the new corporate colours of orange and grey.


T388 and T356 rest outside the fuel point.



Later in the morning B81 will be used on the 8122 pass scheduled to depart for Spencer Street at 9am. T388 and T356 will run an empty block grain train to Dunolly in the evening. B61 and X40 are rostered on Monday mornings 8118 and 8122 pass. Early Sunday morning was usually when the most locomotives were present at the Ballarat East locomotive depot.
