i saw this train go through gosford at about 10:10am heading south so i find
it a bit hard to see at hornsby in 20 minuts when a v set takes about 40
minutes this train may have come from the north west where it has collected
grain to be brought back to sydney as some times when ihave been in the
hunter valley watching trains you see this sought of combo heading to places
like werris creek for branch line working or even at times it has just been
a pair of 48's so i hope this has answered your question
