How not to run a railway, as demonstrated by Aussies

Yeah it took me by surprise as well, three NR's, sugar hoppers, tankers, a couple of container flats and some empty steel wagons. It was farily short though, only about 20 wagons. /quote]

Wow, thats interesting. Normally whenever they run a "General Freight" run it's always 1500m, or close to it. I have NY3 going through your way at about 7:40am on every day but Wed which is a full length train, which I suspect might be steel and mixed loading. On a Wed it's even more different - it's got run number 4132 and may also be mixed loading. Very unusual at any rate, most PN IN trains during the day are BM/MB/BA/AB trains.

I was going to get some shots of the dodgey bros run tommorow but i have to do chauffeur duty all morning.

Well, Wednesday seems a good day for it, as you have that unusual PN Run (I'm going to get out and see it next week, see what all the fuss is about with the different run number), plus you've got Dodgy Bros. You don't get the morning QRN train though, thats only Tue/Thur/Fri... The northbound QRN train does run on a Wed though, so thats a plus.

A shame about doing the chauffeur duty - just hijack 'em and take 'em via the railway line

When i saw the consist it was during a trackwork period and was followed by Patricks and IRA runs, if that helps. I think it was a steelink train anyway, they seem to be assorted lengths. As for wednesday i usually have to be at university from 9:00 to 7:00 which i really hate. Talking about QR runs, nothing beats the noise a X and G class make together!
