More drama on the south again today with the closing of both
Up and Down roads at about 0910am with water over the track
in 3 places between Picton and Berrima Junct.
The Up road was open first when the rain eased and the water
level lowered(about 1005am I think).Mittagong Box was also cut in then.
The down road suffered damage between Aylmerton and Yerrinbool tunnels.
I am not sure when it opened but when I was travelling through Mittagong 
on my way home(230pm)I saw the back end of NY3 and it was on the down.
MS2 (8177)was held at Moss Vale from 950 to about 1200 waiting a path on the 
single line working Mittagong to Picton.
SL84 went through at 1027am running about two hours late
(blocked at Medway Jnct. for Terminating train at Bundanoon)with 44211 and 4490
The only other freights before two o'clock was:
WP2 549 to 621 (had to wait for BM2 to clear Medway)NR62+33+108
MB4 751 NR1+6+72 
I think a lot of NR freight must have gone over the mountains during the
Douglas Park trouble as I haven't seen any extra trains running on the south 
(I might be wrong on this last point, perhaps someone can let us know)
On the south Danny
