Hey Guys,
Just letting you know that this morning's SM3 into Melbourne did have
grain hoppers with canola loading, as well as the containers when I saw
it at Donnybrook (see earlier posting) The EL's on SM7 were 51 and
58.
During the 4 hours from 1610 till 2035 some other
interesting sightings at Donnybrook included:
NR68, NR110, DL43 (green) - WP4 at
17:40
G532, H1 - 9692 Up Bandiana at 19:00
EL58, EL51 - MS7 Down Austrac at 19:55
Regards

The train was SM3, the tanks are for Bomen, the
Manildra wagons for Albury, with the containers for Melbourne.
On the south Danny

Re - the Freightcorp Syd-Melb service - is it
SM4 or SM3 ? I saw this train near Exeter with 8170/8131 yesterday
afternoon. It seems to have become a "South
mixed goods", as it had a varied loading of Ampol oil tankers (for Wagga?),
wheat wagons, Manildra wagons and containers on the back. I'd be
interested to know what was left by the time it got to Melbourne -
presumably only the containers.
Some other observations from an afternoon off
-
Plenty of Down trains, most of them with
81's ! Didn't get the train numbers, as Danny was off
duty.
1520 - 8162, I think this was 1327 Griffith (containers)
1640 - 8182, Down yo-yo
1725 - ST4 Up XPT, XP2000 leading
1733 - SM3 , 8170+8131
1743 - 8184, Down wheat
1746 - NR35+NR70, PS6
1818 - NR38 + DL41 - WQ3
1908 - 8238+8142, Down wheat
2010 - 3x NR , YN2 Up Steel
Missed the EL's , they must have run through
after I left.
If it's fine, the Down procession can be photographed in quite nice light near Bundanoon / Exeter until about 7.20pm at
present - weekdays are worth a try
from about 4pm onwards.
Cheers,
Paul
