The NY this morning was NR47?,20,53,29. Seen it leaving Port Waratah. Not a 100% on the 1st NR, I was hard at work and had it written down on my hand only too half wash it off in the shower.

Some excellent spoil trains sighted around Clyde/Granville on Saturday - 4486/4501 on one, 4463/4703 on another, and D49/D47 on another, with just about every type of spoil wagon in tow.
Videos from my phone on youtube - http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=biqua1&p=r - battery ran out on the third video, so I missed a great shot of 4463 idling, but pumping out good 'ol Alco exhaust something chronic ...

DL38 was noted sitting at Waterfall yesterday with what appeared to be EDI reps inspecting the No2 end bogie. Looked to be a PN train crew present also.

I just returned from Waterfall.. and yes DL38 is still sitting there. It looks like it might be there for awhile as all the wheels have been chocked up with bits of wood.
Here's my pic's

Either my eyes were deceiving me, or R15 is running around tonight as only 4 cars.
