Re: ATN in [Victoria]

["Rod Young" <freight_man@hotmail.com>]

Actually got to McIntyre in daylight yesterday, and on top greens! First
bloody time in 3 years, I was not put away!
And you can guess 3 rd was occupied by a pretty blue J class and a green and
gold 830, followed by at least 20 New [but graffiti attacked] grey 92 tonne
grain hoppers! The New Bloke on the block had a few of his employees out and
about, all eager to give 9352 who's last vehicle was only about 100 feet
ahead and me [9692] a roll by! Thanks fellas.
I am thinking that maybe the hoppers are in undercoat grey and went to Dynon
Car sheds for their
Corporate colours?? hence the Blue-J Class.
The new ATN siding is in place and connected to McIntyre Sidings, but as yet
no buildings are in place. I could not see how far in the track now goes as
the levelling of the site has left a high mound of dirt in the way.
