evening, all,
I have received a copy of a draft stn covering an out-of-gauge movement 
running as 1NY5 and worked by National Rail under Single Line Working 
conditions conveying BHP Hot Metal Ladles from Newcastle to Whyalla.
I will list some sample running times as to try to list every time shown on 
the stn would be too exhausting.

arr 1052 detach accomodation car, then to Whyalla as tabled by ARTC.
The train is restricted to 30kph Waratah to Broken Hill so there would not 
be any problem in keeping up with it.

ON a different note, EL52/EL62 worked 4SM7 thru Bargo this evening at 1803 
with both units working and a load of around 12 to 15 fully loaded container 
flats. These 2 units had been stabled at Cooks River since midday Christmas 
Eve. Hope Austrac were given concessional rates for hire over the Christmas 
period. Also 4836/1873 had arrived from the south some time over the 
Christmas break as they were both at Cooks River this morning.

yeehaaa for a great new year...
