Hi all,
On Saturday May 20th, decided with a couple friends to find some trains
in
Melbourne of interest.
The following has found:
GNR 377 (know as T377) left Newport 40 minutes early with a spark
transfer
to Somerton.

Caught up with it again at Oak Park:

Again at Jacana (steep hill for a T class and dead 6 car comeng):

After it waited a while at Broadmeadows for line clear and the signaller
at
Somerton to switch in it left about 10 minutes early:

While at Jacana this spark transfer passed X44 and A71 in Jacana Loop on
a
down Shepperton Goods:

A quick trip over to Elphinstone and we caught up with the Redhen
transfer
to Bendigo:

So it was quite a good day, and found a couple unusual movements.
