Well that is what I think anyway

As a train nut as some call us, I have come in contact with many people 
that work for the PTC, more so V/Line freight.  I have now formed the 
opinion that, apart that some, not many, of them don't care to much 
about the railways, and also some decisions have been ridiculously made.  
I was told just last night that these VHGF wheat wagons getting painted, 
and Carlton United getting put on the side was just a big publicity 
stunt, to run them past Jeff when he was 'officially opening' the new 
gain pier at Geelong.  I have also found that most of the people that 
work for V/Line hate West Coast Railways, not because they are running 
what seems to be a profitable service, but because what they run it with 
is SHIT.  One even said that they, drivers, should not have to put up 
with the locos, simply because they are to old, not maintained, and 
always braking down, hence costing the tax payer a lot of money.  I have 
also heard that V/Line do not look after the locos that are left, 
because there are many running around with faults, some small but others 
big.
I have know formed the opinion that what little business the railways 
have, they should be trying to keep, I have already heard of two places 
they might stop sending trains to.  Also that unless someone comes up 
with some big dollars the victorian system is going to be stuffed.  The 
Government are not helping much either, for all they care they would 
rather com in today and close the whole system down, and rip up every 
last little spike, and sleeper.  The government love roads and trucks, 
why else would they spend a billion on the city link and not a cent on a 
line to Melbourne airport.  
Well that is what I think anyway...
