Why does the See also para list two Japanese locos that are not even Bo-Bo-Bo locos? Hugo999 (talk) 03:30, 26 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The withdrawal information doesn't seem to match with a couple of books (Classic Railcars, Electric & Diesel Locomotives by Heath/Stott, and Railways of New Zealand by Churchill/Hurst) which suggest their running of suburban carriage trains ended with the arrival of the Ganz Mavag units, and that all Ew's had ceased service by early 1983. What is the source of the final 1988 trip? Was this just a one off 'farewell' rather than the end of a decline as the article suggests? Bevanjlewis (talk) 10:38, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
