>Just got home from getting a few shots at Picton of 44211 leading 4201 2 
>end leading on the mt cars to Sydney.
>The 42 should lead ex Sydney down to Moss Vale this arvo.

**I saw them heading south at approx 16:00 (20/4) with 42 leading 44211 plus 
two brown passenger cars at Campbelltown. Anyway - any reason for the trip?

>The mt cars arrived on time at Picton but left about a half hour late about

**Silverton loco 442s6 was used instead of 2 x 48's on the ARHS train trip 
from Canberra to Broken Hill when it passed Campbelltown on the way up to 
Liverpool - any loco changes on the way - please let us know?

**And the 3801+3830 Millenium Auroua was running 20 mins late as it approach 
Campbelltown as someone told me it was held up because of the NR freight at 
Glenfield.

Thanks - Cheers.
