DC6029 seems to be running with HL203 behind as we speak... passing Tarago towards Goulburn.The locomotive is 6029, NOT DC6029! The DC was to advise loco running staff (in the old days) that the loco is dual controlled ie it has controls to be able to run in either direction with the driver in the correct position. The ++ on each end next to the number denotes the loco has hearing tubes so the crew can hear detonators(railway track signals) because they were so far away from the front wheels.
