This article appeared in the press late last year and a few of us were thinking: Could this be another chapter in the life of CSX 4048? Information was pretty thin on the ground due to the on going police investigation. At that stage it was pure speculation as to whether it was in fact CSX 4048.

Now for those of you who don't speak kiwiese;
CSX 4048 was seized in a drugs bust at Palmdale on the NSW Central Coast by the NSW police. It was reportedly stashed with drugs and packed in a shipping container ready to be exported to NZ. The compliance tags, (oh hang on it probably wouldn’t have had any of those) and any identifying markings were apparently removed.
It’s reportedly been released back into the hands of its owner and is currently undergoing some repair work and major cleaning (apparently to remove copious amounts of finger print powder) at a local auto repair shop.
Bet he was pleased to get it back eh?
