Graham Elliott

Notes:

Last Sunday we saw some nice lash ups on B/G grain trains, including one
loaded train with 57 wagons. Due to the extra down Overland last Saturday night we saw two freight trains on the up with the Overland BL on one train and the baggage and power cars on another train. Mondays up Overland must have had some problems with the BL as it turned up at Gheringhap with a NR on the front of the BL and was over four hours late which in turn made other up S/G trains late.The up GHAN on Wednesday was 41 minutes early for a change. And the talking point of the weekend was the derailment of Fridays down SCT at Elders block point Corio which is about 20 K's on the up side of
Gheringhap. This made a lot of trains very late, cancelled or combined. Which as helped to make this weeks sightings numbers down to 105. Saturdays up Overland only made it to North Shore station (Geelong) where it off loaded the passengers then it had to push the train back to Gheringhap
(about 15 K's) where the BL run around the train and headed off West as empty cars which also included the passengers motor cars. They came back on a NRC freight but would not have got into Melbourne until the early hours of Sunday.
