G'day all,

EL54 "Bonecrusher" barked its way through Kilmore East yesterday (Tues) on
2SM7 at 0950 hrs with a lengthy load of containers. Nice to hear a "GE" that
actually makes a noise. It sure sounded better than its big brothers - the
"Not Raucous" NR's.
It was preceded exactly one hour earlier by 8169 on a "Freightcorpse"
southbound job.
Returning from Melbourne to the same spot in the evening, revealed NR66 +
NR57 (third unit in the Robbo prang)  + 8108 heading north on 3MS4 at 1750
hrs approx...
NR12 + 64 + 25 (elephant style) worked south soon after on a very lengthy
WP2 but behind the "Worm" (ST1). Both north (ST2) & southbound (ST1) XPT's
yesterday were only 6 trailer cars.
See Ya     AH
PS  Nice to get out of the office too!
