Re: Unusual goods (NSW)

[David & Julie Donald <dsjmd@hermes.net.au>]

The train involved here is 8162, the up Blayney freighter (also tabled to shunt
at Bathurst), which FreightCorp runs under contract to FCL.  It is tabled
through Blacktown at around 1730 (Mondays to Fridays), and runs direct to Botany
(though can detach at both Enfield and Cooks River).  It is usually a single 81
or 82, with between fifteen or eighteen wagons in tow (depending on the day of
the week will depend on how many slots are utilised), though often it can be
used for the transfer of the 80's from Lithgow.  Over the last few weeks, it has
had some slightly unusual loadings, including at least a wagon of timber roof
and house frames on most days.
