Thanks Michael for posting this for me.  A slight update, A81 (in Frieght
Vic colours) moved about 14 cement wangons out of the "Good Departure"
track which has been disconnected for about 18 months now and the Cement
wagons have been there for a couple years.  After the cement wagons were
moved out the way (with force, noice, dust, water and lots of weeds chopped
down) A81 returned to remove about 15 Sand (VSHF's) wagons out.  Then A81
returned the 14 cement wagons into the good departure track (siding).

The VSHF wagons which used to be used for the Sand train were left in the
sidings at North Melbourne next to the wash dock and Great Northern's
ballast train.


A few other things of note, more work this weekend on the Viduct using the
Great Northern T's and Y168.

This afternoon's paper train had X41 (FA), P21 (Vline) and P19 (Vline).

Locos of interest hanging around Dynon are S301, R711 (returned about 12:30
with B75) both on the BG turntable, and H2 (very dirty Vline) was started
up and moved from the SG turntable about 12:30.
