When I was at Port Kembla just the other day, I noted that a security
fence had been built to the east of the loco depot, adjacent to the
public car park.   Also, a DL class was parked outside the depot.   A
sign of a possible new owner?

What happens to all the 48s based at Port Kembla for maintenance
purposes - to Lithgow or Werris Creek?
