Re: WS2 National Rail train



Tezza,

A sydney crew works from Port to Cooks then is relieved in the early evening
by another Sydney crew who work it to Port(roughly 2 x 8 hour shifts) Port
crew round trip to Dunmore in the early hours.

The siding has been reopened now for about 18mths - 2 years, FC actually shunt
cement hoppers in there.
