As far as I know, there is only one RTL. RTL 1, as far as I know was 
painted about the same time as X47, and was part of the photo run to the 
north of the state a couple of months ago.

NGGF is possibly an NSW grain hopper. I am not sure how the NSW lettering 
system works, hence have no idea what the first G is. In Victoria it would 
be VHGF in this case.

As far as I know Great Northern have some sort of grain terminal in their 
yard at North Melbourne. I am unsure as to what happens to the grain from 
that point onwards though.

Any comments appreciated.

Michael.
