Is there any indication of what infrastructure is included in the 
privatization.
For example, what happens to infrastructure that is now currently shared by 
both Vline freight and ARTC such as 
West Tower.
The dual guage tracks from Sth Dynon Junction to WF Junction.
The dual guage tracks from Nth Geelong C to Gheringhap.

Theres obviously a heap more.

Hard to split this in two,

On a slightly differant , but related subject , since it seems that under the 
new regime all freight train timetables will become secret, owing to the 
commercial in confidence crap , is a reader of this news group committing any 
sort of offence if such timetables were to be published on a publickly 
available web site , provided that such timetables were obtained via legal 
means , ie sitting at Albury for a week noting the times that trains came 
thru, and then repeating the process at other stations along the route.
Its not too hard to figure out from this a timetable , as running times cant 
be kept secret, and with tools like Train Dispatcher its not too hard to 
figure out where the crosses are.
