Freight must have got shutdown at Colac or Camperdown yesterday arrived here at 4 this morning with X46. X47 and T402 arrived here at 2 this arvo with todays train and now we are having a triple header out tonight. Anyway must go and get some shots

X46 arrived this morning with what they are saying is part 1 of todays freight. They say the rest was left in Geelong. Then X47 and T402 arrived at about 2 with Part 2. However all the locals think that 46 was yesterdays train and 47 and 402 was todays freight. Anyway all were marshaled together and left at about 1030 as X47 T402 and X46. Some of the freight must be on ships by 8am in the morning. Also big loads due out next week. so expect double heading or at the very least A's

You probably most likely wont be seeing A's down there next week unless they are trailing units. More training going on. But stranger things have happened...

What has been happening with the Warrnambool freight train of late has it ran at all? As stated in anoher T356-Y145 and T395 were on Ballast duty between Geelong and Warrnambool for like a week or so.

It appears their were two seperate freights to leave WBL this evening, the first jumped around 19:00, came past my place around 19:15, the second left abt 0100 & was past my place around 0115 this morning with an A & possibly a T/P or X...

No dalts there was one arrive at 7 and then left at 1. It was late account of no crews

T388 & X47 were on last Fridays (15th Feb) Warrnambool freight. There was nothing in the yards when I arrived mid afternoon so headed out to Walsh Rd and they were busy shunting so am not sure if they arrived late or what.

They both then returned light to the Warrnambool yards around 1440 were shutdown and stabled. A new crew arrived later in the afternoon and around 1730, X47 was turned and T388 lead back out to Walsh Rd and picked up their return load returning to the yards about 1835.
