The "Sugarland express" is the nickname given to a semi-regular shunt
move most some weekday afternoons. Two GNRS locos depart their sidings
(ex TNT-Contrans) and proceed to down the Sg main reversing at Sims St
Junction (Maribyrnong river bridge) to enter North Dynon yards. After
picking up the Freightrail Sugar Hoppers (NGGF?) they depart North
Dynon and return the same way to the GNRS yard. In order to get around
the reverse on the main line they top and tail the locos - ie
Loco-wagons-loco. Usually they use T or J class on each end (and one
and a half crews). 

I'm not sure if praying to 'Tell" will help, though <g,d,r,vvf>.
