No rain since Monday morning - slowly drying up!

2AL7N arrived a few hours late last night: NR119 / NR81 pulled in around
2200 with a motorail / LPG tank / 4 x Mobil tanks / 1 x loco diesel tank
/ 5-pack with double-stacked centre well / double-stacked 5-well set /
single-stacked 5-well set / 2 x 2-packs / 7 single flats / 5-pack / 4
single flats = 42 wagons.  Unloading began almost as soon as the consist
stopped moving.  The train was split between the 5-wells and the
2-packs, and the front hauled another few metres forward to clear one of
the access road crossings in the yard, the locos cut off and dropped
onto the rear of the loading for this morning's 4LA6N, and moved it
rapidly down the yard.

NR81 was with DL39 this morning in the yard, so NR119 is solo on 4LA6N;
wagons being loaded yesterday afternoon were 6 single flats /
centre-well (double-stacked) 5-pack / 5-pack / 3-pack = 19 wagons.  I
don't know whether additional loading was added; there didn't seem to be
anything else around.

Forgot to point out in my Ghan message yesterday: NR39 on the Ghan,
standing beside DL39 in the yard.
