Description of Content
V-Class 2-8-0 type goods steam locomotive hauling goods trucks loaded with carcases. Several people stand beside the train and two men lean from the cabin - they were probably the loco crew. The V-Class steam locomotive has a train load of 11,030 export carcases from the Wimmera Inland Freezing Company. Several rail lines are visible, and the photo appears to have been taken in a rail yard.
