3801 up the Mountains (Thursday)

["Darren Yates" <dyates@pnc.com.au>]

Hi all,
3801 sounded pretty good up the Blue Mountains today, making short work of
most of the grades. (OK so it only had about 150 tonnes...)
So much so, it turned up at Bell about 20 minutes ahead of the timetable.
For an engine in need of an overhaul, it's still got plenty of toe.
The driver and co. were obviously having good fun today, the way they drove
it...

Cheers,
