The 2 47's were probably the first 47s to travel to Griffith, via Temora on
the way to Griffith and via Junee on the way to Goulburn.

It looks like the Sydney-Goulburn run will be cancelled (due to lack of
bookings) but all other planned running around Goulburn will run as 'tabled.
4204 will receive attention over the next few days and will hopefully be
ready in time to run light engine to Goulburn, for the weekend of 17/18
April. 4204 is still proposed to haul the Red-Eye special dinner train to
Moss Vale on the Saturday evening.  If a large group of 150+ were to book
for the Goulburn-Sydney run on the Saturday morning, it may still operate.
If interested, please call (02) 6341 1052 for bookings for the Red-Eye
special or 0413 45 5367 for further information.
