Re: [Fwd: train in Hornsby Yard]

Alas, your zealous Hornsby correspondent was sleeping in when the EL's/47's
were reported being in the Down yard about 8am this morning! I can advise
however that they have left behind airconditioned sitting car RDH2239,
which is labelled "Austrac".  I assume it  had a hotbox or similar failure.
This will now require a further movement at some stage to rescue it.
(Probably again the regular LVRF service).

Tim Arnot was at Ourimbah to record the train, which was followed by 4201
leading 44211 on the RTM Dungog Tour.  Looks like I totally missed an
interesting Sunday morning!

I trust that my recent diatribe about virus warnings hasn't discouraged
Andrew Tailby from posting genuine sightings like this to Ausloco. If this
is the case, I apologise, I wasn't trying to single him out personally, as
he is far from being the first offender on this issue.

Regards,

Paul
