Re: Echuca sightings



Aus loco discussion mailing list

Last nights' 9083 ex Melb arr Echuca OK @1910 hrs with G527 (again) + X32. Load was 29 container flats - first 26 had two empty 20 foot containers (for export bagged rice) each wagon (standard loading arrangements) - 27th wagon had one 20 footer and the last two wagons were devoid of containers. The first twenty one container flats stayed @ Echuca rice mill and the last eight proceeded to Deniliquin behind X32 at around 2020 hrs. X32 returned to Echuca L/E before midnight as usual to stow and work todays Moulamein and Deni goods. Got the pattern? You should all have it "off pat" by now!  
9084, the return working to Melb. got away OK @ 2010 hrs with G527 + X33. Good load - 13 vhgx hoppers behind the locos and approx.. 16 or 17 loaded container flats (standard two 20'containers of bagged export rice per wagon) brought up the rear.
I understand that rice is FV's third biggest revenue earner. (Sorry, not strictly loco-based)
