I did see a NG grain in Kwinana CBH on Sunday which may of been the last for a few days, been wondering why hardly any grains come down to Kwinana

No LQ is not a new numbering system it is to show these locomotives LQ have Q-tron traction package fitted while LZ locomotives have ZTR traction package.

very rare sight of ALZ3208 leading a train now as its usually confined to remote unit

there must have been problems enroute as i am pretty sure the AC would have been on the lead ex west kalgoorlie.

I believe LZ3114 was leading but failed at Darine, dont know why the AC didnt lead then.
