Basis of the above is correct, I've just been called by our Ops Manager,
a spark rear-ended a goods at Aircraft, both BG lines are blocked. 8246
was terminated at Werribee, and has returned to GEX empty cars, so
tomorrow morning I may be running busses MSS-GEX, with 8207 being a
train beyond. If the line's cleared, the cars will come to Melbourne
empty. 8237 got to WMB 60 late, ran via Brooklyn.

Cheers,
CH.
