The probable reason for the running of Nr's through the east Hills line
connections as it will allow a direct run into Chullora container terminal.
If you run in by any other direction you then have to reverse in Enfield
Yard and while the yard appears to be in the phase of opening the
signalling for everything in the area including the probable abolition of
Chullora Box is not yet operational. On top of that it appears the wiring
teams are in possession of the goods lines to the north in connection with
the Homebush Bay Railway Line.
