After waiting for JBR's 6AK8 to clear the section, PN Intermodal service 3PM6 commences the climb up the Adelaide Hills through suburban Hawthorn behind NR92/NR71/8121/G537 on Friday the 6th of January 2023.
3PM6 is normally used to transfer Banker locomotives up to Tailem Bend to assist the next day's trains through the notorious Mt Lofty ranges. Pacific National usually allocate older locomotive power such as the G, AN and 81 class locomotives to this task.
