I guess that's where there are storage tracks.

I know from talking to NR drivers that siding space in Melbourne is
extremely tight with trains sometimes waiting at loops outside
Melbourne because they can't get in account congestion.  There aren't
many/any other places I can think of in Victoria that you could safely
store 10 locos on SG.

Yuri.

PS  Note: locos moved were C501+C509, not C503 as I reported earlier.
