Monday 27.10.97.
Page 24, Jan 1998 StaleRail carries a photo of J515 crossing the
Goulburn River at Toolamba with the Train of Knowledge with part of
the caption reading "ran as empty cars movement between Toolamba and
Echuca because of the poor track condition.
On a parallel topic, I understand SGR have received a letter from
VicTrack outlining their intention to close the line between
Cranbourne and Nyora, and that retrieval of K19 and cars can only be
done as an "empty cars" movement.
The last SGR newsletter stated that they had received assurances from
VicTrack that the line would remain open.
Any one know the truth? David? with your connections to SGR?
