Darwin Railway's new rollingstock?

[thalytgv@my-dejanews.com]

Anybody know how many new rolling stocks requires once Darwin line is
finished?

My humble calculation indicates this will require 120 locomotives likely
newly build as most of the carrier are shortage of power. Along with about
1000 new wagons to be adeque for freight trains from Sydney, Melbourne,
Adelaide and maybe Perth.If Great Southern Railway willing to serve this
section, it would probabily extend its "Ghan" service to Darwin and will
require about 40 carriages again brand new since GSR already sold most of
surplus carriages and about 2 locomotives as well.GSR might want to provide a
tourist shuttle service for Darwin to Kakadu National Park, this work best if
GSR brought 2nd hand "Prospector railcars" from West rail as by that time,
new "Prospector" should be in service.

Any comments?
