Recently new rosters were introduced into Dynon and Wodonga.(Jan99) With the
loss of the oil traffic, the "oily"
is much shortened and starts at Melb Yard, and not Geelong. Dynon Crews run
it to Riggs Creek and change over with Wodonga Crews.
We have only had A Class on this train since then. We lost the New X and the
BG H.
We shunt the BG with the A each morning and night.  These last few weeks we
have been getting up to 12 hoppers of Super for Wodonga Pivot, and two
tarped opens for Wangaratta, thus a Double Header is needed. The first was
two A's, the second an A and an  X48
