Further........

6MA3 collected one unit at Tailem Bend, GM1 actually, third unit behind
CLF4 and CLP12, experience ground relay problems along the way again,
so will be interesting to see if it comes out to play again.
Was at TB 1030 hrs, arrived down the Port about 1400, thereabouts.
Crossed NR/NR/DL at M/E. Before venturing to the Port it had to wait
for AP4 which was headed by CLP13, CLP10, CLP17 with a hefty load..

GM1, then lead unit, hauled CLP12 and CLF4 with 4 in toto back
to the north yard, nice sun too!

Other than that, 841, 831 the other end, stabled at Port Dock before
closure of Port line at 1000hrs on ballast, returning empty around 1330
as AP4 was going out. Back to be loaded again.

EL57 led in on todays Gladstone, 5GM's returned rather late I'm advised
with the Coonalpyn grainie. G522 was 4th unit on SCT this morning, I
believe (not sighted) and is believed next green FV contender.

NRsomething, Trailer-rail was at Balhannah about 1000hrs undergoing
a photo shoot of some sort, not sighted, but heard. Don't know what
happened to MP5.

That is all for now,

Ciao, GOB
