Broken Hill Tour Train (was Final Posting)

Hello,

Unfortunately some rumours do come true.

Luckilly, the warning was posted and recieved in time by all those railfans 
driving hundreds of miles....

I have been informed this morning that this train finally departed Parkes at 
8-15am (08-15) with 8181 leading.

The time for the scheduled departure was 6-00am (06-00).

With luck, the 81 class may be detached at Orange for anyone still waiting.

I believe that it was expected to pass Maldon around 4-10pm (16-10) but that 
isn't very likely now!

Of course if it gets routed via Bacchus Marsh to miss the Jap tourists it 
will be later still! Is this a relapse of my past sarcasm?

Bye.
