Re: Log train to Hume.

I've received a few emails direct asking for more details about
tomorrow's working, etc. My earlier posting contained all the facts
that I am aware of at this stage, but i can make a few suggestions.
If the train runs on time tomorrow, it should be light enough for good
video gear to be used from Tarago onwards (depart Tarago 04.58) and
certainly light enough for photography from Bungendore (05.48), but
only tomorrow and on Saturday morning because I think daylight saving
starts this Sunday. (Daylight saving will help with the return trip to
Goulburn in the evening - at the hight of summer you should be able to
chase the train to Tarago)
This Saturday could be a good day (but a very long one) to be out
videoing/photographing - the log train running to Hume early in the
morning (remember, it will not normally run on Saturdays), then back
to Medway to catch the NRC test train.
I hope someone posts some reports on how tomorrow's working goes - I'd
love to get down there to record it but can't. If the train returns to
Goulburn on Friday night for another run on Saturday I will post
advice as soon as I can find out and hope to get down there.
