S317 Renamed

[edit]

Southern Shorthaul Rail currently (July/August 2019) has S302 and S317 coupled back-to-back and uses them to deliver grain trains to the Allied Mills siding at Kensington. S302 is in orange/grey livery and has its name "Edward Henty" painted on each side. S317 in in blue/grey livery and has the name "Janet Molloy" painted on each side. I have no idea who Janet Molloy is or why the loco may have been renamed. Should the new name be mentioned in the article? 220.245.147.99 (talk) 10:16, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have (a link to) a photograph of this? If so, then I can add the information. Anothersignalman (talk) 11:04, 12 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
I decided to investigate this, and found them coupled back-to-back on Allied Pinnacle's siding at Kensington (S302 facing north and S317 facing south). I got some photos, but the only camera I had on me was my phone, so the quality isn't spectactular. The name is actually "Jenny Molloy".

Thanks both, I've updated the main page. Anothersignalman (talk) 02:40, 14 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
