On the same topic , why is it necessary to do this , ie carry enuf
fuel to go all the way.?
A G should be able to get from Pt Augusta to Kalgoorlie on a full
tank,so its only a matter of filling up at Pt Augusta and Kalgoorlie.
Gs have 9600 litre tanks 
Even if ASR wouldnt let you , which is likely , then why not simply
contract with shell or BP or whoever to simply provide a road tanker
to drive up next to the locos and fill them up.
Countrylink used to do this for years with the XPT at Spencer St.
Where do NRC refuel their NRs?
Are there still fuel pumps at Cook,and who owns them?
