Evening All

Due to the non working of my ISP I have not been able to pass on some
info,

The next working of SM 7 should be tomorrow evening when EL 52 and EL 62
will work out of Cooks River, at present 1873 and 4836 are doing the
Willow Tree working ( I believe they are due to return AM ex Willow Tree
5/1/00)the loading off the Northern working will be added to SM 7,
EL 51 is destined to be returned to Adelaide later in the week for
painting, EL's 57 and 52 are to be rejoined, for promotional work,

Yours,
           Pete Kilburn,
               Junee
I have lived through the 50's 60's 70's 80's 90's
will this year be the start of the  Naughty's
