I now reside in Victoria, so this section is likely to see the most recent pictures of railway action. While I grew up in Victoria, I left the state when I was 10, and didn't have a camera at that time. We lived just 100 yards (pre metric) from a level crossing on the Lilydale line, which then saw goods travelling to Healesville and Warburton, so there were often K and J classes puffing past (often at hours past a boy's bedtime!) I also remember locos like the X and C classes seen at the more important depots, but unfortunately never got any piccies of them in action (or otherwise).
The Victorian Railways use a letter classification, with locomotives being identified by their class letter and road number. Minor modifications to a class resulted in suffixes, such as the D3 class derived from the D class. Because they have recycled class numbers from the steam to diesel era, this catalog is split into steam and diesel subsections, although these are not directly labelled as such.
