As of 20:00 today (16.11.99), only one train had headed West from Dimboola
since the derailment, a NR service which had spent most of the day at
Dimboola Loop departed at 18:45.  During the day trains have been stabled at
Dimboola (NR89/NR91 on NR freight), Pimpinio (NR87/NR79 on NR freight) and
Horsham Loops (CLF4/CLP12 on a Patricks service).

At this time the train from Pimpinio Loop has moved up to Dim. Loop, and the
Patricks from Horsham is in the yard at Dimboola, along with a Steelink
service (Single NR loco).

The only trains east recently was a grain (G517) which originated off the
Yaapeet branch which departed Dimboola at 16:25, and the remainder of 2AM5
(the derailed train) which left at 19:00 behind single NR96.

During the clean up at Salisbury Loop, NR's 117 and 93 were seen on the
Adelaide end of the train, and they obviously came from a delayed service
waiting at Nhill or Diapur Loop further West.

Simon King
