AusLoco is slow so by the time you read this you might already know the
answer.

3830 had bearing problems and was taken off the train at Somerton Loop
(after crossing the down XPT) about 20:45 on Friday. 
On Saturday it was fitted with a new (or re-machined bearing) while sitting
on the SG turntable at Dynon.

Just a quick question is it wise to roll the bearing in the dirt before
fitting?  I would have through a brass bearing would need to be clean of
all dirt before being put in.  Maybe that is why 3830 had/has bearing
problems.
