A powering C class (and not dirty either) passed through Sunshine as
part of the loco consist on an up SG Goods this morning (Thursday 12
February) at 11.45am.

The train was led by NR83+NR??+C5xx.

According to a source at NR, the C was attached at Junee after the
failure of the second NR. The C has no number plates, and and no
numbers in the headboard lights, so I cannot report the number, and
was long end leading into Melbourne.

Has it come home for modification/BG conversion or just as an
emergency motive power and going to Junee again soon?
