Good for you. Have you ever replaced any on the Dorrigo line? If
you have, it would have been a long time ago. The only group doing
anything like getting this line running is the Glenreagh Mountain
Railway. They are replacing sleepers, and clearing the line. They
deserve recognition for the fine work they are doing. Dorrigo is
doing nothing but rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
