Portlink

["Ken Neate" <kenneate@tig.com.au>]

Nothing has been posted lately on whether on not the success or otherwise of
the Portlink locos (PL1 and PL2).   I did observe PL2 leading a container
train towards Port Botany (NSW) this morning around 10.00am, crossing the
Illawarra line.  PL1 was bringing up the rear of the train.  From the length
of the train, both units would have been needed to be powering unless all
the boxes were full of air.  Unfortunately, I was too far away to see
whether only PL2 was crewed.

Does anyone know what is now "ops normal" for these two units? The last I
can recall was that there were problems controlling the remote loco.

My apologies if this has already been covered.
