Exactly how long does it take to lift a girder off the track?

If it can't be lifted there are always jack-hammers and even well
managed explosives.

I can't believe that the various rail operators and ARTC aren't having a
collective dummy-spit.    NR is always very vociferous when things like
this happen.

Still what is the delay Melbourne/Perth?    You don't come into Adelaide
and dont have that 2 - 2.5 hour crossing of the Mount Lofty Range.    If
you need to you can remarshal double stacked containers at Parkes rather
than Adelaide.

What is considerably slower is Adelaide - Melbourne.
