This trailer has been running up and down the Hume for about 8 to 10 years
now. As I recall it even has a correct 4 letter classification code ending
in Z. It used to slip through Albury in the wee small hours quite often but
then faded away. I hadn't seen it for a couple of years until about 6
months ago. I wonder if the truck driver is aware of the rail significance
of his trailer.
