T364 pulling the outshopped set into the siding loop. T364 in the rain, approaches Glenbervie on the UP, hot on the heels of an UP spark. Since this was the first time I can recall that it has run early, the train almost came to a stop, then proceeded at a walking pace through the station - sounded great!

GNRS T345This transfer ran fairly early, and due to a recent accident at Broadmeadows, could not be 'put away' at BMS stabling sidings, so it was put into the grain siding at Kensington, this would be a very rare occasion that a spark has visited this siding.
Upon returning to Newport workshops, T345 derailled, bending it's front steps.
