Hi,

> Y112 was busy all day on shuttles along with Seymours' J515 as well as R761 in ex Melb.and out (to Melb) that evening. Shuttles were run to both Barnes NSW and Tongala Vic. on the Toolamba line on both Sun. & yesterday. Each group/owner did shuttles to each destination a day apiece. The best compromise for all concerned no doubt!

don't know about the Seymour group, but Y112 shuttles didn't get to Tongala - the first one on Saturday went to kmp 219, which was a bit far, later ones went to kmp 223.

Flat top T class gunzels would have been happy, T413 was on Y112's train, and T320 on J515's.

> Yesterday (Mon.) was even busier as the G class had to be "squeezed in" between the shuttles to run the return Deniliquin NSW goods in the afternoon PLUS the Sprinter arrived and departed from & to Bendigo in the afternoon to its usual Sunday timetable as well as 9084 goods to Melb. last night as usual. Shades of Echuca in times long past...

And isn't it good to see a location that hasn't been "rationalised" ridiculously like the rest of Victoria?  A place where you can actually run a few trains!  Few and far between across this state now.....

Cheers,
Craig.
