X50 now FA

G'day all,

Apologies this is a day late, but seen on #9352 Up Tocumwal S/F yesterday,
A77 and X50 both lettered Freight Australia, X50 obviously freshly
outshopped after repaint by RTS. The smell of fresh paint was quite evident
on the breeze after the train passed us at a couple of locations on the
northeast mainline, Tallarook at 15:23 and Heathcote Junction 15:55.

 Also has anyone noticed that Victoria is now left off the map of Australia
on each end of FA's locos and Australia is more boldly outlined than it was
previously? One wonders where this company's ambitions will lead it in the
future now it's aspiring to be a national operator. Maybe a bid for National
Rail is in the offering?

Who in their right mind would have speculated like this 10 years ago!!

Regards
