Possibly just transfer hopper for FV.  Freight-Victoria is not exactly
a "threat" to Freight Crop, FV has only very small interstate business
and FV's CEO mentioned at last AusRail conventio  FV will concentrate
its business in Victoria rather then expand aggressively to other
states.  Freight Corp also mentioned they are willing to hire surplus
locos to FV.
