The power van was taken back to Parkes.  WL34 left Broken Hill on time with no
power, lights or air conditioning.  The emergency lights were working ex Broken
Hill, but will only last a couple of hours.  The third carriage (L) was filled with
all the passenger's luggage.

-PS6 has three NRs and is about 1.9 kms long.
