Re: Interesting Empty Movement Through Petrie [Qld]

["Chris Downs" <cvdowns@ozemail.com.au>]

I can't confirm the why but the previous Sunday (26/03/00) a 12 car train
passed through Petrie on the down and consisted of 2 x SMUs + 2 x EMUs on an
empty movement.  The time was 1824 and it immediately followed the 1817
Petrie (ex city) - Caboolture service.
