I was lucky enough to see 3830 at Mossvale on Monday 3/11 before catching the
1:32pm Canberra Xplorer home. It had brought the Cockatoo run up.

I also saw a fairly long south bound train of wheat hoppers hauled by 5
81-class deisels, which pulled into the most easterly road while waiting for
the Xplorer to come through.
