Werris Creek 48s were unique, in that many of them

carried magpies painted on the cab side, a symbol of

the local football club that was founded in 1912.

While the exact dates these were painted on have

been hard to find, a lot of looking over photos, and

peoples records, has indicated that they first ap-

peared in 1978.

How long they lasted is not yet known, however

4851 s=ll carried hers in September 1987, while 4867

was noted with them in April 1988.

The following list shows those 48 class we have

iden=fied the magpie to have appeared on, as well as

the years noted.
