Rail in Tas



A friend of mine has just returned from a holiday in tasmania and although hes 
not a rail fan ,is pretty observant about trains and from where he was staying 
in Ulverstone reported that he had seen a number of very long trains carrying 
timber going through, quite often , up to 7 trains per day.
What was more significant however was that these trains were hauled by 3 locos 
at the front and 2 in the middle of the train.
Is this normal practice for timber trains in Tas or would this be a result of 
Transrail taking over.

cheers
