Report on Austrac
El61/El51/T381 (A-A-B) arrived at Gunnedah at 10am for a quick crew change.
Crossed the down Explorer at Curlewis, then Gap at 12noon.  Straight thru
Werris
Creek -Is this the first train to do this?  They lost more time behind
48143/4892/48136/48109 on 5422 Grain which failed just outside the yard
limits at Willow Tree. Up Ardglen at 1.50pm.

Nice DSO shot on the bridge at Aberdeen.  However then sat in Aberdeen loop
to cross the Down Explorer and a down grain with 48117/4885/48121.  Arrived
Muswellbrook at 3.40pm.  Made a  nicelate afternoon trailing glint at
Ravensworth
at 4.10pm.

Bankers were three 80 class as a coalie was due out in the late afternoon on
the up.

Weather sunny and warm all day.  No other photographers around.
Tucked up and in bed by 9pm  dreaming of more green EL's and T red class.

BTW, grain is bulk loaded into standard containers, one door had come
partially adrift with grain flowing out onto the deck of the wagon.
