Private grain trains in NSW

[dbromage@metz.une.edu.au (David Bromage)]

Got this from a Junee driver. GrainCorp is to start running its own trains
early this year. They will (probably) own the wheat hoppers and contract
out haulage. Austrac will probably do the haulage on the branch lines into
Junee and Cootamundra (and LVR to Harden?). From there to port is still
uncertain. FreightCorp don't seem to be flushed with big locomotives at
the moment. NR does have the Cs mothballed at Junee, so don't be surprised
if you see them (and even the occasional NR!) hauling grain. Some grain
may even be sent to Victoria for export.

Not sure what might happen in the rest of the state. Maybe a job for
Silverton?

Cheers
