The last CLP Overland

I'm going to ask a favour of the South Australian aus.railers.

Sometime in the next few days, the last CLP-hauled Overland will
depart Adelaide for Melbourne. According to the previous messages on
this forum, it's going to be anytime from tonight 31/10/97 to Monday
3/11/97.

I intend to go west from Melbourne each morning to meet the eastbound
OL and chase it back to Melbourne. I have several locations in mind,
some which I already have flmed CLP OL's at. So it would be
advantageous for me to know ahead of time if the OL coming towards me
is CLP- or NR-hauled, so that I don't duplicate positions.

Could anyone who notes the loco on the train departing ADL over the
next couple of nights post a "R"eply to this message, advising me of
the loco on the front of the train.

I'd be most grateful.

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Yuri Sos
Melbourne.
