I was at Junee on 6/10. The display was great. Congrats to all parties
concerned. The steam crane looked wonderful lifting wagons up off the
rails. Freight Corp drop the ball around lunch time when 8201 rolled away
and became derailed on a set of catch points at the entrance to loco. All
twelve wheels were off the rails, and the loco had a lean towards the
drainage ditch that runs along side the track. The Freight Corp emergency
crew arrived in the afternoon. The loco was almost back on the rails by
late afternoon.
On a side issue, Austrac Ready Power is working on a muffler for 4814.
This should hopefully allow them to run their Griffth to Port Botany
freight in the near future.
