Re: Pendennis Castle

["Bernard Smith" <epping.smiths@gatewaynet.bigpond.com>]

The November issue of The Railway Magazine (UK ) carried an article about
how the GWS had been "involved in secret negotiations for the past 12
months".

TRM indicated that one factor likely to force the issue was that Hamersley
had successfully defended an access claim to their track by Robe River on
the grounds that the track is part of the mining process.  If 4079 had been
restored and run on Hamersley's track, this could have jeopardised this
defence.
