>Now, if only QR could BEGIN to understand that thee IS a "latent" railfan/backpacker/adventure tourist market for services such as the Yaraka "Mixed" train! Once a number of people contact the Qld ARHS and suggest that they run a tour to Yaraka using the Brisbane-Yaraka loading, on a Wednesday during a school holiday period, it will SOON fill up! I am talking about using the Yaraka freight to haul a couple of cars, to RE-CREATE the "feel" of the FORMER mixed train, NOT a special tour train to Yaraka.
