Is TRAY just a temporary code, or has the Austrealian standard coding been
expanded?

What has happened to the A and N codings now that the original operators
using that code have been split up? N now covers RSA and FreightCorp.
A is no longer AN. Did Tasrail adopt the standard 4 letter coding using A
as the first letter? Are we going to see B for BHP, S for SCT, etc?
