Where exactly ??????????

The Bogie Exchange centre was closed and rebuilt into National Rails
Wagon Maintainence Centre. About the only place to do the exchange
nowadays would be South Dynon Loco in the Shops. 

Incidentally, does anyone know if the containers that arrive in North
Dynon on 9792 from Horsham and other points west are still lifted onto
BG wagons for the last km or two to VLFs Melbourne Freight Centre ????
