My contact at the steel terminal tells me two X's have been returned to
V/Line (at V/Line's request), so the NRC steel trains now run with X-T-X
in one block, and V/Line T on the other, assisted by a GN T as
required. As I understand it, two sets of loco's are only required on
Saturday's, the second train being the lighter loading (hence T's can do
the job).

Initially, a pair of BL's are coming for the BG steel traffic.

Cheers,
Craig.
