MJOINER have you shunted Junee yard as i have?
Do you leave equipment foul of roads when you shunt?
Do you respect other operators when you work in multi user areas?
Throw the first stone sport as long as you have never disrespected other operators.
Seems that you QRN blokes have a massive chip on your shoulders to me. Laughing

no operator is perfect
so either attack everyone on their little mistakes
or say nothing unless it is a serious issue

Mjoiner Thank you for that well reasoned reply mate Very Happy

.
When i was a terminal operator i went out of my way to ensure that i never left a vehicle foul of another road as i would not like it done to me so why should i do it to others.
When its pouring rain on a cold winters night in Parkes or Junee you did not want to be stuffing around doing extra work because some other bloke was feeling lazy or tired when he was doing a shunt prior to you doing yours and made your job even harder.
We all should be respectfull of others in our industry although that does not always happen.
If you had read previous posts of mine you would know of my work in the industry prior to being made Redundent by Pac/nat.

42101,QRN (Interail) blokes don't have chips on shoulders as much as other companies have grudges against us, you get treated the way you treat someone else keep that in mind and you might loose the chip on your shoulder some day, I have shunted Junee yard along with all Metro freight yards and all the way up the North coast + Acacia Ridge and Fisherman Island, taking note that PN seems to be the worst offending operator for inconvenience to other operators just look at what is going on at Acacia Ridge and why QRN took it back because PN can't handle a bit of competition (I lost my chip now you loose yours).

GM42 is still in Grafton yard today. Also G534 - 2819 are in the yard facing south today. Unfortunately the train is parked right in front of the GM. As the sun is out today would have been ideal to get a photo of the GM but you can't see it view blocked by a container.

Cheers Ron

2819 is leading both GMs on the Main South, heading towards Melbourne on 1BM7. Not sure if 2819 is going all the way or whether it will come off at Junee.

Cheers

GM43 gets around, I found it at Casino Saturday morning all by itself at around 6 am.

Now that you mention it, 2819 is parked in a rather obstructing position. I have never seen that occur here in Queensland. Why stop and park there irrespective of whether or not the wagons are hired by QRNational?
