EM100 was back at Geelong Loco this afternoon. Also sighted V/Line's Y156 stabled there near the turntable which I thought was odd as it's not the usual Geelong shunter. Went past Geelong station and the usual Y shunter was there next to the station. Anyone know what's Y156 doing at Geelong Loco?
Also an X, T400 & a P class were in North Geelong Yard this afternoon ready to head a freight to Melb at 3:30.

Totally forgot about that, thanks SN7
Yesterday's up Kerang must have went through Kangaroo Flat a minute or two early; I got there at 1525, to get it passing at 1526 (current time account originating at Kerang); but it had already been through.
