Also currently at Moss Vale MS4(which has been sitting at Moss Vale since 4:30am
(presumably the derailment happened sometime round then))is shunting to leave 
half of its train at Moss Vale and the other half will be going through to 
Picton to stable there.I have also received fairly reliable info stating that 
NR will be striking tomorrow.
Information just heard on radio says it will be 24hrs before one line will be 
opened and 48hrs before both lines are opened.
