Yes the loading you are talking of is Concentrate from the Cadia mine
near Spring Hill. The Concentrate is pumped from the mine to a small
drying plant next to the FCL terminal at Blayney. There it is loaded
into the Containers you talk of (the reddish brown ones with the lid)
and then placed on 8126,8162 or the extra train they have been running.
