[Ausloco] Updates - SA, the Long South & the Frozen West

["Paul Hogan" <pghogan@bigpond.com>]

Just filling in a few gaps from my equally well informed "sauces" ... er
sources. (Good one David!).

Gee it's fun slaving away in an office getting reports from gunzels out
frollicking in the cold and the snow, although at least I was warm.

>From Tailem Bend -  Geoff Hann reports the sleeper/rail train stabled at
midday with CLP12+GM43+GM27+GM22.  The third Great Northern GM, GM10 was
sitting in the sun near the turntable, surrounded by the six "Murraylander"
cars still awaiting their first turn of duty.

>From Cootamundra -  Dennis Rittson and Rob Wilson caught up with YN2, which
came in from Parkes with NR's 31, 38 and 58, plus EL 53 and EL55 dead
attached. As expected, the EL's were cut off the train at Coota West, and
were probably forwarded to Junee.  The arrival of these units means we've
almost executed a complete swap - NSW now has nearly all the operational
EL's, and South Aus has most of the 422's!  Sadly, the only mothballed
fleet not to get a full scale reprieve is the C class.

>From Leura - Local resident Brian Ayling braved the icy conditions for a
shot of WL2 coming in this morning behind NR52, and scored snow and full
sun for his efforts.  Grumble...

Cheers,

Paul
