You can go and have a look at it in operation on Wednesday's for the
next 4 weeks.  FV are moving surplus vans to storage on the
Ballarat-Ararat "siding".  The train is hauled Melbourne-Ballarat, at
Ballarat the loco's reverse onto the rear, the RTL goes onto the front
and leads the train to the storage site.  There the RTL cuts off and
drives away, the loco's cut off and return to Ballarat.  It's an early
morning move though....

CH.
