Since the Freight Victoria take over, the south east has been a hive of activity. This morning three freight trains passed Murrumbeena within half-an-hour. First up was G543 on the up Lyndhurst cement train with about six wagons at 03.50. A few minutes later A71-H4 passed on the down with about a 30 wagon empty log train. At 04.20 the up loaded paper train passed with A78-T374. The down paper train this afternoon due to pass Murrumbeena at around 15.00 will have P23-A77-X43. I don't normally see the night Maryvale goods, as I am at work at this time, so I can not comment on these trains. It has certainly pick up down here, with train sizes noticeably increased since the V/Line days, added to this, bigger locomotive lash-up are seen on a regular basis. The down paper train over the last month has been a three engine roster.

Aus loco discussion mailing list Yesterday FV called internally for 2 drivers interested in transferring to the Eastern region for an anticipated increase in work for that area. This includes crewing arrangements for the resumption of freight services from Traralgon to Bairnsdale. Applications close on the 1st of November and a condition of employment is that applicants must be prepared to transfer almost immediately. It does not state the location to where crews would be based....assumed Morwell, as there is a need for daily pilot work there with now 3 eastern services running daily.
