Re: Mudgee reopening

["Sean" <NoSpam@Hello.Springwood.Rail>]

it says that the train there between Rylstone - Mudgee is 47kg/m (Class 2
Track) while from Mudgee - Gulgong its a lighter 40kg/m (Class 3), it just
states that it could restrict heavier locos from accessing the line
(81/82/NR) 48 locos wouldn't have a problem though.
