Lengthy 919 Breaking Thru The Morning Fog

One of the longest 919s I have seen for a while, but with over 75% of the wagons being dropped on the loop in Edendale, it would have been a short one afterwards. The wagons dropped at Edendale were for Fonterra and Daiken & will be shunted by Y35 after 919 has departed.
On the tail of this train was one of the new IL wagons, which was recently released for service after being assembled at the new Hillside Workshops, and the noisy wagon (which was bound for Daiken) was shunted off in the Edendale yards.

Thanks for an excellent video of operations in the Deep South! Have you any idea of the tonnage on that train arriving at Edendale?
We get up to 2,000 tonne trains on the MNL, but it look’s heavier than that.
Picton, MNL northern terminus.

Thanks. Southbound trains are normally limited by length rather than weight. On this train, all the wagons before the white tarp containers were loaded & bound for Invercargill, and the remaining wagons (apart from the last two wagons (carrying the ISO tanks)) were empty. The white tarp containers are bound for Fonterra Edendale, and the remaining wagons dropped off at Edendale are for Daiken (the local Medium Density Fibreboard plant). Northbound trains are the opposite, they are normally limited by weight.

It because it tanking all those wagon to be full and tanks to be empty next train will be 932 and 931 till end of this month they still porting out milk powder for 931 at lest look so big for tomorrow fight looking forward to seeing you at the train tomorrow afternoon around lunchtime for 931

[@TravellingRailSpotter]

Yes. There is still a bit of milk powder coming out of Edendale. 932 was a good size on Friday, especially after collecting the additional tonnage from Daiken.
Majority of the dairy farms around Southland would have dried off by now and a small portion will be winter milking but their milk will head north for processing.
One wagon was removed from the rake of wagon which was destined for Daiken, as it had a bad flat spot. Check out my video of the Y35 shunt to see them shunting this wagon into the siding.
