I reported the Austrac train as above yesterday running out of
Sunshine with the locos running elephant style, and the train was 25
wagons with only three blue containers.

Today's Austrac train just came in through Sunshine, X38 leading 1872
both long end leading with 25 empty wagons with what appears to be the
*same* three blue containers in the same positions along the train.

There's no way this train could have got to Sydney and back, so they
must have run it to Wodonga(?) run the locos around and sent the
identical train back to Melbourne today.

Playing trains?

Look for photos of X38+1872 on my web page after 1800 today.
