Friday 22nd June 1984, saw 942-934-X46 work the on the 9101 Melbourne - Ballarat Fast Goods. The two Alco's were returned to Melbourne Saturday morning on the 8122 Up Ballarat pass.

The first recorded working of double headed 930's on a Ballarat passenger service was on 23rd June 1984 when 933 and 940 ran the 0745 Up Ballarat pass. 942 was used on the Friday night to rescue X41 which had failed at Mount Albert on ballast train with T338.
