As an ex Canberran (and if John Howard has his way I may soon be
returning) I read with suprise the fact that fuel is still railed into
Canberra. I was always under the impression that the only railed fuel
was Diesel and Kero, with petrol being shiped by road. Anyone know how
much (and what type) of fuel is railed into Canberra, how often the
trains run and which oil companies use it.
