Re: ASR Reopening Lines?

[nldoncas@cobweb.com.au (Nic Doncaster)]

There are one or two section of track missing (or were) when I drove through 
Kadina a few weeks ago.

I have not fully paced the yards at Wallaroo but wonder if the area can still be 
accessed by rail.

Finally would it be in ASR's interest to re-open a line such a Wallaroo, given 
it can deep port through Port Adeliade or rail out form Pirie?
