HPC 402 is heading down South on what would appear to be an Inspection Train for ARTC, I would assume.

If anyone is lucky enough to spot it in the flesh then your lucky, the only time I have seen it with my own eyes was as a early weekday morning about 2am crossing Parramatta Rd heading towards Rose Hill & I thought hmm very weired to be stopped by the railway crossing at that time of the morning and then I see HPC402 slowly passing by & I was spewing I didnt have a camera Mad

Ridden it once when it was doing Radio Test duties down here. It was leaving Picton for Moss Vale just after I signed off so got a ride home on it instead of waiting for the usual loco hauled pass 30 minutes later. Very bumpy trip it was too Exclamation

What are the odds these guys might leave Picton a bit earlier? I'm banking on being a train going south through Picton at 7:06am, to get to a good spot south of Picton - is there a chance they will leave earlier than this?

Cheers!
