Re: Unusual train
Aus loco discussion mailing list
Hi Guys,
I heard this train very clearly pass Craigieburn right on 23:00 as I was
dozing off to sleep. Can confirm it was 4201+44211 with ST water gins and
MHO van Albury bound. Being a still night and having chased these same locos
out west near Pura Pura the same day it was easy to identify the sound of
the GM chant and horn.
