Re: Rail in Tas

["Leon Kernan" <lkernan@rocketmail.com>]

I live in Northern Tas, Right next to the North-West Rail line at Westbury
(35km west of Launceston) and have not seen a train with loco's in the
centre that I remember, (I see most trains during the day). Unless it ran
during the night.. Triple heading has been less common lately but used to
happen more regularly.

Just my 2 cents worth..
