P2501-P2517 hauling an empty grain to Mingenew.

A few from today here in Geraldton:
7702 Mineral sands ran for the first time in nearly a month today, the train was collected from the Narngulu plant by a pair of DFZ's 2406/ 2401, but for the run to Eneabba 2512 was on the front and departed Narngulu late this afternoon.

The Mingenew grain was hauled by DFZ2407/ P2516

Noted at Narngulu were DAZ1901, DFZ2405, P2510.

An ore was stabled at Narngulu this afternoon minus locos, so around the yard were DAZ1901, DFZ2401, DFZ2406, P2510.

Looks as though next grain ship at Kwinana is not due until Thursday, interesting that in Geraldton one grain ship is in and another two due by Thursday so grain shipping is a bit of a variation between Ports.

2302 grain ran yesterday and 3336 ran today both unloaded at Metro Grain Forrestfield, 758/759 grain also ran and unloaded at Kwinana, standard gauge fleets apear to be stabled at Forrestfield.

Seems to have quietened down, trains today at Moora, Cadoux and Miling for Kwinana grain.

Heard tonight that the Miling train was cancelled today - not sure if Cadoux ran. Also a York working scheduled for Kwinana, this could be canned or altered for Metro Grain? 336 was changed to Metro from Kwinana.

I thought I heard 058 leave for Kwinana tonight??
