Noticed today, 4-6-97 at fyansford Sidings, Fyansford.
2- VPBX, 2- VPCX, 1-VHJA(loaded Gypsum.
Does this indicate that some cement loading is continuing "out" & is the
loaded "In" gypsum traffic now going to be sent to Fyansford instead of
being unloaded at Gheringhap and trasferred by road to the Cement works?.
