Ivan,

The Port Lincoln Div locos not on your list are 842, 850, 851 and DA4.
Presumably they're all at Thevenard at present. The Kevin gypsum trains are
regularly triple-headed, so there's one spare loco at Thevenard. They are
changed over from Port Lincoln periodically - DA7, 872 and 871 were working
the gypsum in September.

Incidentally, your Eyre Peninsula reports are greatly appreciated,
especially the Kapinnie workings of late. Good to see the line still in use.

Cheers,
Peter

The last train to Kapinnie for this grain season occurs today with Train No.

Yesterday, ( 16/3 ) 873, 869, 872 hauled 15 trucks from Yeelanna to Kapinnie
arriving there at 4.23pm and the three loading staff

 from Yeelanna took two hours to load the 15 trucks. Speed is restricted in
places to 10kph.    This train dropped 12 trucks at

 Edillilie and 13 at Yeelanna. Most 3 loco trains departing Pt.Lincoln have

Locos based at Lincoln are  NJ 1 to 6.   Green DA6 and orange DA7.  865,
869, 871, 872, 873.  Not sure locos based at

 Thevenard.    DA7, 865, 871 worked Lock 15/3 ( the Ides of March - and the
cloud was a curse ).    NJ6, 865, NJ2 worked Lock
