When did this change take place?  I remember vividly my last (business) visit
to Toowoomba, maybe two years ago, when I drove out the Spring Bluff (?) one
night and stood in the darkness watching a cross between a downhill grain
train and the Westlander.  I then drove to Willowburn and watched the train
arrive and leave.  There's something about watching a train at night....
