I have been advised that the 2 421s ( 42103 and 42105) are expected to
go north on empty wheat train 4521 on Monday. The train is ex Port
Waratah, and should leave either midday, or 1pm. The locomotives
rostered at this stage are an 81 cl, two 48s, and the two 421s D.A. I
stress the point that this is the provisional roster, and all this can
change. Anyone else with more information, please advise the sightings
list.
On another note, BL27 is expected to be released from Chullora on
Wednesday, painted in the steelink colours, and at this stage is
rostered to go south on SM9. BL29 is expected to be the next unit
scheduled for repainting.

I hope this is of some help
