They could also be loaded at Victoria Park and other sites in the
east parklands and not unloaded from the road trailer onto a rail
flat car by crane.

They could have been loaded at GSR Keswick at the motor-rail ramps
(assuming someone could reverse them on without them falling off
the wagons that is).

TOFC might be better for this sort of work but for the clearances
Adelaide - Melbourne.

If the train went via Broken Hill, Parkes and Cootamundra would
there be suffient clearance for TOFC?
