The normally exact and accurate Wombat is 24 hours and "some cars"
out.

R711 departed Melbourne L/engine at about 1300 Monday, crossing the up
R707 hauled pass somewhere near Little River.

It then picked up a couple of oil pots in North Geelong  Yard and
departed for Ballarat, passing Gheringhap at 1610 as train number
9199.  First time on a goods.

No, I didn't get any shots -- it was a stealth manoeuvre.

It is scheduled to return to Melbourne on Friday.
