Commencing about 12 pm last night within 15 minutes the following freights
headed north on Beecroft (NSW) Bank: viz

1.    Coil Steel headed by 2 Nr's + 2 DL's. One DL in Green/Gold the other
in NRC colours;

2.    Container freight hauled by two Chicago Leasing EL's painted in the
new distinctive Chicago colours; and

3.    Freight Corp general freight hauled by one 82 Class.

Not bad, four different classes of locos in such a short time.

I think it was Monday night the same steel coil train comprising same locos
stalled on Beecroft Bank just past the signal North of Cheltenham station.
Didn't get going for a couple of  hours and then with abreviated train. Do
not know what happened to remainder of train.

Cheers
Rod Gayford
