While out and about on a drive today I found T356-T357 on their ballast train stabled at Goornong. They were still there at 1600:

Was quite a suprize to find them there.

Its not who we are but what we do that defines us.

He with the most trains wins.

T356-T342 (or was it 320 ?) left Bendigo just after 17 30 with the ballast wagons headed back Echuca-wardly.

XR557 and XR559 are the locos on the grain train and last night about 1100 the ballast train was heard leaving Bendigo(i think) then at about 0345 it was heard leaving again.

The locos have since been taken off the train and stabled at the fuel point.

The grain train was ready to depart after the 1428 pass left but i get the feeling they would had to wait for the 1300 from Swanhill to clear the single track section.

The down grain was seen deaprting Bendigo yesty arvo at 15 30 with the 2 x XR's.

It arrived back tonight at 17 50.

Just now ( 21 55) he 2 x T's have passed Epsom, both on the front, so probably heading south to ballast and not return.

It didn't run at all Wed night, but Tues night it went through around 23 30, and didn't return until just after 05 00 through Bendigo. The down empty cars to Echuca were about 10 mins late that morning.
