As lomng as the ore from Broken Hill has to get to Port Pirie, the line from
Crystal Brook to Broken Hill is safe.
I cannot say the same for the line east of Broken Hill. It may well get the
chop.
BTW, is there still any ore traffic east from Broken Hill? I thought there was
some a few years ago. If that has gone (or never was), then the line is
probably doomed. Unfortunatly.
