Does this mean the whole line is closing? Did anything eventuate re
Blue Sea's plans, reported some months back (quoting the Captain in
this ng):

G'day to you all.The local paper The Western Times, Wed Feb 14, 2001.
Heading "On track to reduce trucks"
"Yarraville transport company Blue Sea Containers 
plans to reopen its rail link within weeks."
"Work to repair Blue Sea's rail link along the bank of the 
Maribyrnong River to Dynon Rail Yards is almost complete
and could lead to one train a day take 20, 30 or 50 containersat a
time."
But I have not seen any action down here with rail maintain,
re sleeper replacement or ballast.--RegardsCapt. W. J. Somerville
