Re: Tilt train to Rockhampton......

["Jim Dean" <jim@ozdocs.net.au>]

There is a section immediately south of Rocky which is speed signed at 150.
There are two speed signs in many places and like NSW they are
differentiated by colour.

Also all trains heading north out of Rocky still travel up the street from
the station before turning on to the bridge to cross the river. This section
is not electrified so the tilt does not run on the street.
