I have also heard the line in East Gippsland will be fixed up for the
timber, and that the line to the Toll port at Geelong might get rebuilt
for container traffic.  At the moment the amount of logs that are
getting moved by rail has more than doubled lately, there was only
about 8 to 9 wagons a day, now about 18 a day, and another stud at the
unloading point (Corio key) has been opened.
