I am not sure of the length ex Melbourne, but will find out exact length of the
train. The train had 46 wagons into Sydney arriving just after 1:30 pm. The
majority of the wagons were those blue painted CQOY 83 foot wagons. There were
just over 150 boxes on this train. I believe the length was approx 1240 meters
in length, but can get hold of exact details.  Yes there was approx 10 Silverton
owned wagons near the rear of the train.  The return leg left around the 1 am
mark the next morning with a fully loaded train. This is a result of a very
large contract recently won by Austrac.

I hope this helps
