There have been triple NR sets at Botany at various times over the past 
couple of weeks. I appears that they come in early in the morning on an up 
freight possible BS8 and then work a trip train back to Chullora. A 
Silverton 442s usually left Botany between midday & 13.00 and I think the 
NRs have taken over this working.

Pity you couldn't get there earlier as 4846/4860 departed Botany on an up 
trip around 12.45.
In fact, today was a day for back to back 48s at Botany as I saw 4862/48127 
at 0754 on an up train whilst at 16.33 48154/48149 were on another up train.
Good to see that they have replaced the 80s with 48s rather than boring 81s 
& 82s.
No doubt this will upset the GM/EMD fans!

Might bump into you there one day.

Ivar
