@lxensen No - all this lot is from the Malt factory at Marton only. The Wanganui shunt didn't run that day.

thts also pretty weird cause the plant has its own shunt as well those hoppers and container would have just come out of the loadout room either tht or the pit lol thts was the best part cause i used to drive their shunt considering im only 16

yer mate those hoppers or CGs they call them r full and will make their way to ashburton then be emptyed out then filled with barley again and back to marton lol seen as the malt plant in marton is the only 1 in New zealand lols
