Re: P 20 at Kensington Grain Sidings Today

[Michael <mk@netstra.com.au>]

I saw someone who appeared to be a driver walk up to it at approx 1:15pm - 
Was going to catch a train back out to Kensington to gunzel it for a bit 
but realised that a) it was prolly going to be gone by then and b) Newport 
seemed a more attractive option, and it turned out to be, apart from the 
cold :)

Rather interesting, that today is one of only a handful times I have not 
looked out of my train to see if anything was there (in the siding) to get 
off and gunzel. Mind you, had a T class been there i would have been on the 
first train back there, considering the T's are being mothballed at a 
phenomenal rate.

Regards
Michael
