Re: [NSW] 86 class Timetable Details???

[John MacCallum <engineman@ozemail.com.au>]

The 86's mentioned are have been captive to that rake for
the last week. The rake is a Port Waratah Unit Train the
number of which I don't remember for sure but I think is
Unit 51.

The train has been running most days days as CA13 and CA14.
CA13 arrives at Clarence around 7am and does not leave
Newnes Jct until around 1525.

Very bloody boring sitting on the things from 1140 to 1525
waiting to leave!

By the way both pans need to be raised because of the
isulated bridge that pushes the pan down to clear the
loader bin as the loco moves past the shute.
When all locos are past the loader bin the front pans are
lowered.
