It first ran on 13 October 1958.[1] It departed Mildura at 17:00, loading at Irymple, Red Cliffs, Carwarp and Hattah before running express to Dynon Freight Terminal arriving at 03:00. To allow it to operate at the line speed of 110 km/h, the wagons were fitted with bogies similar to those fitted on passenger carriages.[1] It initially operated three times weekly on Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights, but within a few weeks this had increased to four times.[1][2] By 1961 it was running six times a week, Sunday to Friday.[3][4] References1. ^1 2 "Express Freight Service" Railway Gazette 14 November 1958 page 592 {{VRLocos|state=collapsed}}2. ^"Express Freight Service" Railway Gazette 2 January 1959 page 8 3. ^”Fruit Flyer” Railway Gazette 14 April 1961 page 417 4. ^”By Fruit Flyer” The Age 28 November 1969 page 20 4 : Night trains of Australia|Railway services introduced in 1958|Rail transport in Victoria (Australia)|1958 establishments in Australia |
