AN was running mixed trains on the Coast til the mid '80's, with moderate
success.
I have seen tractors, water tanks and general freight trundling up and down the
coast, though towards the end, it was transfers to and from Thevenard.
AN gave up the distributoin of Super, though it was railed in bulk to places
like Kimba for distribution.
Be interesting to see what the new owners do!
