Re: 2800s in SEQ

["Graham Watkins" <gwatkins@globec.com.au>]

2800s do not normally operate south of Rockhampton as there are still
clearance problems associated with them.

They only come down to Brisbane for the wheel lathe at Mayne and they
operate under Out-of-Gauge conditions.

Usually, they only travel as vehicles although occasionally they may work a
service.

One was due to come down today and go back tomorrow.
