A meeting was held in Jirilderie on Thurday with interested parties
(organised by RAC) to discuss reopening of the line. A brief for
consultants to carry out study (similar to Cowra - Eugowra and Grenthorpe
- Greenfell) will be prepared and consultants apointed.

RAC's position is we would prefere standard gauge, but our real interest
is getting more tonnage on rail
