8039/8007 arrived at Moss Vale last night at 17.45 on 2138 and proceeded to 
Berrima Junction to lift 20 loaded cement wagons.
The locos reversed prior to daparture for Sydney via Robertson due to a shut 
down between Glenlee and Glenfield for resignalling over this weekend.
I was of the opinion that 80 class were banned on the "mountain" due to the 
noise of their dynamic brakes. As far as I am concerned, the railway was 
there before the new residential developments, so why should these 
additional restraints be placed upon pre-existing infrastructure?
