Details are in the latest Western Division Working Time Table, dated
July 1999.  From memory, it shows somewhere between a dozen and twenty
paths each day, but most are conditional, perhaps a handful are
mandatory.  How many actually run is anbother matter.  A report from
Flemington Goods Junction for the 24 hours of 25 August, posted on
these pages, showed 4 Up and 4 Down (Baal Bone & Clarence)
