Err, yes , its a bit hard to think globally in Railway terms .
Would a Tarcoola to AP train be up or down , boggles the mind somewhat.
One curious thing about all this loop lenghthening is that there doesnt appear 
to be any plans to lengthen any of the loops between Wolseley & Keswick which 
are all around the 1100 M mark with the exception of Tailem Bend (2100M).
Might be the current crossing patterns are all in Vic.
