The Kensington grain shunt is usually done with a P class which usually
stables each day. A couple of weeks ago, one of the old "high sided" gypsum
wagons (loaded with gypsum) that are normally used on the Waurn
Ponds-Cowangie traffic was attached to the usual dozen or so grain hoppers.
Si it's not the first time an odd wagon has appeared. I have no explanation
for this deviation from the norm.
