If its not rude,why is our Stratford coast watcher on crutches?
At Warragul we seem to be getting more FV painted wagons for the logs.
Also it appears that as part of the yard redevelopment the large billboard
at the down end of the yard opposite the sale yards may be going.During the
week all the posters where removed to reveal a very faded painted
advertisement for a Paynesville hotel.
The story I heard about the RTL1 was that the wagons could only be 1/2
loaded at Hillside due to the bridge.Does this appear to be factual?
