What do you mean Phower?...they are as clean as they going to get in that livery until they get to wear new coats of blue and gold.
Reminder to sash to keep eyes peeled for 8150, 8184, 8180 & 48165 as they migrate north & return.
Not to sure why they had that much HP for such a short load? maybe a new shunter fro Grafton?? Any leads westie?

4621 was host to this impressive lash up transfering loco's to Grafton in ready for sleeper transfers to the main north. No idea why the 48 was on the train certainly not needed in either direction, but due to a crew member going sick and no one willing to come out, 4621 was terminated at Boambee and 6422 formed with 8180 leading 48165 and placed in the siding to await the availability of the Morandoo crew to work back to Newcastle. We returned to Grafton light engine with 8150 and 8184 and stabled, luckily there was no Casino loading on the train this weekend.

Correct me if im wrong but im pretty sure NR59(SL)/NR31/NR121(PN*)was infact 6BA6 with NR59(SL) being detatched at SFT later being put on 7WB3 with NR57(ST) at around 0130 this morning.
Cheers, Michael 
No loco in Australia works like an NR does!!

8180 & 8150 were still in Grafton Yard today. 8184 & 48165 would have been on sugar train as 81/48 combos are used regularly. I did hear that train loads of concrete sleepers are to start running to Werris Crk soon from here. There are a number of consists with this in mind in the yard ready to go. I believe it will be an early start 1am.
Cheers Ron

jd4980 has now given you the good oil of what happened and confirms my suggestion re sleeper trains.
