Evening all,
Well, I hope all you Mexicans are not going to wait trackside for your shots 
of 8212 in he lead on 3SM2 as emd567 reports that it has failed somewhere 
around Medway, causing heaps of disruptions to down trains.
On checking with those "in the know" apparently 8212 is suffering from 
ground relays and a loco has been sent from Port Kembla to rescue it. No 
doubt it will not be a thru runner so likely will be replaced enroute.
Would appreciate advice as to what actually turns up in Melb on this train 
when it finally arrives.
Freightcorp do confirm that this was to have been the first thru working of 
an 82 to Melb.
Oh well, that's railways for you!
Regards
Ivar

P.S. did anybody happen to catch the numbers of the 2 NR's on 2YN2 that 
arrived in Sydney tonight? I didn't hear them sneaking up on me as I was 
watching "The Bill".
