Re: [NSW]Tangara T30 (was: For Sale)

["Hubert Lam" <hubert@imap4.com>]

I seem to see a number of those large round plastic "stoppers" on the tracks
on up north suburban at the N Strathfied Junction... dunno what they're
called but one end holds up the wire and the plastic stopper obviously stops
any current from flowing through to the support structure itself.
