I read recently (I think in Railway Digest) that Northern Rivers Railroad
was contracted to supply contingency arrangements for the Grafton area north
to Brisbane. This involved having re-railing squads available. If I read
this correct it would seem in NSW, RAC is responsible for any problems that
may occur on the line. They may charge the operator for the inconvenience I
don't know.
