[Ausloco] Cowra-Blayney Line Reopening (was 3801 trips)

["Darrell Gainey" <darrellgainey@hotmail.com>]

Hello,

The recently reopened section of line between Cowra and Blayney exists now 
as it has no doubt for much of the last century.

That is, 70lb/y jointed rail spiked directly on timber  sleepers. ie no 
fishplates.

Somehow I don't think this was ever envisioned to be able to support the NR 
class let alone a 38 loco!

Bye.
