The T is apparently going all the way to Junee, then on Monday? will be
heading to Sydney. It has not been that long since a T has lead on a sg
goods. GN T have lead the Patrick's and MS3 Freightcorp train on several
occasions.

In other news, B75 (as this stage) is going to Bendigo on Friday with R711
and two T's. The R is for crew training while B75 is going for storage and
the two Ts as a back-up. Another transfer is also going to take place in the
next few weeks. 4483 (One of several ex RSA 44's and 45's now owned by GN)
is heading over to Adelaide. Not sure of the exact details just yet.
