Sorry you had to wait so long, I was waiting from 1330 onwards and gave up at 1610 after hearing about the Hoppers Crossing incident.
It was through Corio at 1515 but ARTC held it at Manor for a while pending clearance of the incident site.

No photos, but spotted X39 (with extend-a-loo!) and A81, both in FA green, at the head of a container train ready to head out of Totty yard around 1750.

Its not SM9 and MS9 as they don't run anymore, csyjunior is correct with the train being 5BM7 and the second one was 7MB7.
No loco in Australia works like an NR does!!

G524 ran a down cement train into Geelong on Friday afternoon. Just a few years ago everyone used to complain about G classes being everywhere - isn't there only 3 of them on the BG in Victoria now?
Same day NR24 lead DL42 and BL31 westbound. It seems like it is always NR+NR combos on the Western SG.
