Re: Hume Log train

Last I counted there were 23 wagons (close Melanie).  Hume is an
"industrial" suburb (ie no houses, just factories/warehouses/industrial
businesses, etc), and is quite small.  It is located at the junction of the
Monaro Hwy (the road to Cooma) and Lanyon Drive (back road to Queanbeyan).
Actual loading takes place off Tralee St, in an area on my street directory
(UBD brand) labelled "Horse Holding Paddock".  Interesting thing to note is
that the actual loading takes place "across the NSW/ACT border" (being the
boundary fence for the railway).
