At about 1035 hours today H3 hauled a load of two vehicles equal to four
with a gross weight of more than 200 tonnes! the vehicles were placed behind
Station Box to be picked up by Freight Rail later that day.
This movement takes place Monday to Friday , by the Wodonga area Pilot.
..................in Albury. This contract is soon to be extended to
Melbourne, what's the bet that these Manildra Super Hoppers run to
Melbourne.
Actually there is no reason why these vehicles cannot run in
ictoria.[ apart from access Corp saying no] Not much difference between the
two states Track, and all North East SG bridges have been recently upgraded
[second time since NR started]
