Re: new rail hub for River Don in Launceston

[Stuart Dix <stuartdix@hotmail.com>]

The lines are actuall Wiltshire to Stanley and Wiltshire to Smithton
(both closed). Burnie to Wiltshire is fully open and sees up to four
return trips a week. The North East line beyond Tonganah (near
Scottsdale) is lifted, but the rest is fully open.  Georgetown is the
official end point oif the Bell Bay line, as that is where train orders
are given to. Trains run down the hill to the port within the yard
limits.
