Rather ironic, that while on a morning walk I heard coming up Glenroy bank, 
what sounded very much like a T class. It was a spark transfer! Having had 
the camera with me, I specifically took a photo of the transition equipment 
(and the train, a very nice T395 long end leading, with 6 Comeng cars). Of 
interest, the transition equipment used wasn't the one stored beneath the M 
cars on the comeng, rather it was a much chunkier looking yellow thing, 
obviously with the same intent. Just don't expect to see a photo online any 
time soon (:
