Notes :
(1) Loco propelling.
(2) To level with building before stevedore's office.
(3) To end of line.
(4) To buffer stops beyond convergence to single line past Freightliner Terminal.
(5) Kevin Driscoll comments: Train A was not exactly the same, e.g. went to the gates of Griffin Wharf FLT (unlike train B), and may have varied
in other details - confirmation required for train A.
