Re: [Qld] Bundy's Last Great Adventure Update



Moreton Mill still has two operational Malcolm Moore locos. One is named JOE
and the other is JIMPY (sometimes called JUMPY). They are used on navvy
train duties.

Bundaberg Fowler No.5 continued its light engine running between Howard
Street Yard and the mill right through until Friday evening. It did,
however, make at least two forays out onto the main line to Bli Bli Cutting
and return as all the mill diesel locos were in the loco shed at the mill.
