    Has the Albany Chipper run it day in Albany?

    On Tuesday morning at BroomeHill I noticed 3 p class locomotives pulling the wood chip fleet towards Avon

    rumours say that it might not return to Albany. Is this true? can anyone help with information regarding this event

    They recently ordered spare parts for these wagons so I would think its not true.

    I believe that they are now sharing the loadout at the port in Albany with the new export grain handler (not Bunge), with the wood chip train running approximately one third of the year, and the rest of the time it will handle the outloading of grain. Someone with more information will correct me though!

    Cheers,

    Thank you gents I have had a email regards the Chipper, it will return to Albany Tuesday.
    Yes I have heard of a chinese company using the wood chip berth. I don't think that AQIS will allow the joint use of the out loader.
    But this will be seen
