On 8/12 a 17:25 I noted A85-PH-FLH32 on a down pass at Franklin Street.

First I saw of S310 was at GEX loco on 3/12 (seen from 8207, so that
would be around 9:40), on 9/12 at approx 12:55 it was sitting on the
turntable (again at GEX loco).  V/Line Freight could have at least
thrown some paint at it - it's looking very sad :(  

Cheers,
Craig.
