[Ausloco] The Ghan

["Steve Dalton" <steamer711@dingoblue.net.au>]

While on Duty at Train Control last night I had to speak with the Train
Controller in Adelaide and he tells me like my self was having just a
wonderful night.

The Ghan, on the down, became disabled at Wingeel Loop, and while crossing
9712 a loco change took place.

Sorry I don't know the loco number's

The Ghan had a single NR,

9712 had a NR and a DL  

the DL was detached and shunted to the rear of the Ghan,  9712 departed and
the DL ran around, the NR of the Ghan was cut off ran forward and the DL
attached, the train departed Wingeel about 2 and a half hours late,  with
the NR leading Dead, and the DL powering,  

The NR had to lead due to radio and ASW equipments
