At Sydney Terminal today I saw some trackwork going on opposite Mortuary Station. They were laying Concrete sleepers on the line down to Darling Harbour. I just caught a glimpse of an NDTF wagon which I have never seen before. What are they used for and does anyone know what's going on down there?
Could not find a thread on this so go easy if there's one.
Cheers

Thanks biqua
Was very interested and only had a quick look as my V set went past.
Damn had the camera in the bag but it caught me by surprise. 
Cheers

It's currently used as a storage location for trackwork machines (rail grinders etc)

Laying sleepers to once again allow 3830 to travel to the house of power where it will be boxed in for good.Not a bad thing either

Sit here next to No1, better stored indoors instead of a open air shed.

Have seen them down there in previous years. I believe that obtaining a path to enable a transfer from Eveleigh would be quite difficult, unless done during the nighttime
