Having all this week off work, it has allowed me
see some of the trains I don't normally see. This week has seen quite a few quad
combos operate, possibly the most interesting was the up log train last night
(3/2) with a P-P-T-T combo around 23.00. One block section behind this was the
up Morwell freight with A??-X47. On Wednesday (2/2) the down paper train
passed with A85-X47-P20-X52 just after 15.00. That night X52-P20 combined with
the up log train with the two T's to form a quad back to Melbourne, while A85
and X47 returned on the up Morwell freight.
Generally the following freight trains operate
on the Traralgon line and their rough times past Murrumbeena.
00.00 down cement train to Lyndhurst usually
with double locos from T, P or H classes.
01.30 return of the cement
train.
03.00 up Paper train. Usually with a A-P or X-P combo.
05.30 down pioneer train to Westall with G543. This train dose
not operate every day, but can run on any day of the week.
09.00 up empty Pioneer train.
15.00 down empty paper train with any type of combo from a
single A to a quad. This train always has a P class which is later attached to
the up log train.
21.00 down Morwell freight. P-A or P-X combo. The small engine
always leads as they return on the paper train.
22.00 up Morwell freight
with the engines off the earlier paper train.
There is also the up and
down log trains, but not sure of their times. They often cross around this area,
With Tuesday night seeing them cross outside my window. The down had two T's,
while the up had three T's.
There is also a conditional
train from Morwell. A light engine runs down in the Morning and returns either
around 12.00 or 15.00.
There is also a conditional mini Pioneer train
to Westall, passing on the down around 10.30 and returning on the up around
13.00. Usually a X or A class.
Generally the Pioneer and down paper trains are good time
keepers, while the rest can often be many hours late. I have seen the up Morwell
freight around 04.00 some mornings, or the up log train around this
time.
Hope this is of interest to some.
