I can confirm that things were unusually quiet at both locations this 
morning.
At 7.30 at Cooks River 4486 was found such down, 4872 was idling in the 
yard, 8158 was shunting what I thought was 1827 to Blayney whilst 1872 was 
also shut down.
At 7.45 at Botany, 48127/4862 were on an up trip train whilst at lunch time 
I found 8103 over at the Sydney Haulage site at the Port.
By 16.30 8103 had formed an up working waiting to depart.
Unusually quiet considering there are no Waterfront disputes on at present 
and we have heaps of boxes on vessels just arrived.
Maybe tomorrow will be busier.
Regards
Ivar
