Hi all
6AL7 arrived Alice Springs Saturday evening with NR/NR
and from memory it had around 66 vehicles for 4200 tonnes
and 1750 metres long.
In the consist was 6 loaded fuel tanks for Alice Springs and
20 empty tanks for Merenie crude oil siding.
This could posssibly be the biggest train ever to operate into
Alice Springs mainly due to 5AL7 being cancelled.
