Re: Coffs Harbour train times

[petan@ion.com.au (petan@ion.com.au)]

Coffs harbour goods yard relocated May 1996. Freight operations moved
south to the Boambee Beach Industrial Estate where a new long loop and
sidings were built. This is to the east of the airport. The XPT's
still use the main station. Cause; freight yard too small with an
awkward level crossing to the north although there was an overbridge
to the south.
