Somersault, Vol 31 No.2, March 2008 wrote:...the entries for the morning of 10 July 1990. Train 7369 (actually K163 running light engine, probably to Stony Point) became totally disabled at Baxter platform at 1030. Clearly the fireman got a lift from Baxter as he arrived at Somerville at 1045 with the staff. 8510 Pass arrived at somerville from Hastings at 1042 and the locomotive was detached and departed at 1052 to assist the disabled locomotive. Train 7369 arrived at 1108 and, presumably, the disabled locomotive was placed in No 3 Road. The assisting locomotive was then recoupled to the passenger train. A Frankston staff was obtained for it at 1115 and the train departed ar 1135 (about 50 minutes late). A light engine departed from Long Island Junction at 1421 and arrived at Somerville at 1432. There it attached K163 and departed from the yard at 1442 and arrived at Hastings 1504.
So unless this happened more than once, the actual date is 10 July 1990, not April 1990.
