Re: R711's last trip to WMB this year

The VGR had problems with J549 during the summer months a few years ago when it
started several small fires in the dry grass near the Maldon home signal. I have
no idea if this is a similar problem to R711 but the VGR thought it may have
been a result of putting sand through the tubes. They did this to clean out the
tubes if anyone is wondering.
