Most of the time I have seen the Broken Hill Pass its always pretty 
short,usually 3 or 4 cars at best.
Is there any reason why 42220 doesnt go to Broken Hill.
It seems a waste having an 81 & 422 to haul essentially the same car set,ie 
the 81 to Broken Hill & the 422 to Griffith.
Conversely why not use the 81 to Griffith.
At least this way Countrylink would only have to own / lease 1 loco instead of 
2.
Maybe I am missing something.
