In this home video we farewell and capture some of the final workings of the American Locomotive Company 44 class on the Southern Highlands: 4456, 4458 and 4486.
In less then 2 weeks of filming, the remaining 44 class in traffic would be withdrawn from service.
The 44 class were introduced to traffic from 1957 to 1967, withdrawn from government service in July 1994. Since this film was taken, few members of the class have survived in preservation and freight working, including 4458 and 4486. As of 2024, 4497 remains the only active member of its class dedicated to freight working.
Just days from returning home filming the earlier BorderLoop segment, still languishing in disappoint at the complete withdrawal of 44 class from the main north, an evening and day was spent capturing the final movements of the class in this transition period of motive power and freight train operators.
Witness the chasing of 4458 and 4486 hauling a Medway to Berrima return limestone train. The unique DELEC Enfield paint scheme applied to 4458 was a favourite of mine and I am delighted to share this short film with you on its 30th anniversary.
