         I am not real sure about this, but on a recent visit up here
one of our bosses whilst watching a NR haul Tolls Train through Wodonga,
remarked about the irony of winning the Toll Contract from NR, and then
having to Contract them to haul it, account V/Line Freight have no crews
accredited to run beyond Albury, apart from the few Dynoids who work for
CountryLink part-time.
