Re: [VIC] Kilmore East today

["Peter J. Sweetten" <aeropics@tig.com.au>]

Hi all,

G519 was on #9692 Up Bandiana S/F Monday 6/3/00. I saw it at KP80 (behind
the Broadford weighbridge off the Hume Freeway) at 15:28  whilst waiting for
the up Tocumwal goods. My sources in the northeast tell me #9352 Up Tocumwal
S/F was delayed at Murchison East due to loco problems. A71 shut down but
was restarted after a lengthy delay, hence the late running. It was through
Seymour about 17:10 (scheduled 15:05), so must have continued to have
problems if it took 40 minutes in the Seymour to Kilmore East section.
Unfortunately I had to forgo waiting due to an 18:00 start on nightshift, oh
well there's always next time hopefully!
