Good afternoon from Peterborough 15:32 CST.
The eastbound Indian Pacific click clacked through
in no great hurry at 11:30 right on time, non stop.
Locos in charge NR1 and NR27.

Next train in was the westbound BHP freight at 13:45
enroute to Whyalla locos in charge NR101 and NR85,
 proceeded to stop on the loop and waited a few minutes for
 the Eastbound Trailer  Railer , Locos in charge NR36 which
sauntered through on the main line AT 14:00hrs
and came to a stop with leading locos opposite
each other, the train crews changed trains , then proceeded
East and West.
While all this was going on I was able to find out a few details
