Silverton jumbo to Sydney

[bevanwall@ozemail.com.au (Bevan Wall)]

Austrac have leased a Silverton 442. It will leave Parkes around
midday tomorro hauling what has been described as "containerised"
wheat. After shunting at a number of locations the train (running as
no.8302) wiil arrive at Coota at 16.55. It will be amalgamated with
no.3168 being hauled by an NB, departing Coota on Sunday (25/07) at
01.00. There is a crew change at Goulburn with the train departing
there at 05.10., arriving at Cooks River around 11.40. These times
seem to be too "slow", I wiil try to obtain times for a few more
locations and post them tomorrow evening. The jumbo is due to leave
Sydney on Monday afternoon at 17.50 on train no.1367.
