[Ausloco] Inner West 31/5

[Scott Martin <semartin@idx.com.au>]

There was certainly a lot of rail activity happening on the Metro Goods 
line between Marrickville and Canterbury this evening. All the trains 
sighted were on the up goods line, leading to speculation of a freight 
'traffic jam' on the Metro goods.  

First up was 8144 with a container train, seen at Meeks Road jct 
(awaiting a green light to cross above the Illawarra/Bankstown lines) at 
17.15. 

Leaving Marrickville station found 4855 (#1)/4853(#2) on another 
container train about 500m on the down side of Marrickville station at 
17.17. 

The next train was seen lurking in the vicinity of Dulwich Hill Station, 
being 8214 and a long train of empty container wagons at 1720. This was a 
long train stretching from the up signal guarding the points at Wardell 
Rd junction to within 100 metres of Hurlstone Park station. 

Finally, 17.22 saw NR111(#1)/NR104(#2) stopped between Hurlstone Pk and 
Canterbury Stations with a small shunt train. 

This is a rather unusual occurrence, as this time period usually sees one 
train only on the up in this section. I hope this is of interest and 
relevant
