Hi peoples,
I also heard today that Tuesday's Nothbound departure only made it Wodonga.
Sorry for any confusion caused, as I previously said that X45 will on 3SM7
and 4MS7.
They ARE playing trains!!
4MS7 this afternoon left Melbourne pretty much on-time (16:04 at West
Footscray), with X38-1872 and many more containers on the flat wagons
than previously seen.
Gareth.
