Begs what question???  certainly since the introduction & now the total
withdrawal of freight from theis line, the rail surface isn't as clean as it
once was.  The D3 stalled and failed in exactly the same spot in 1996 with
the Echuca weekender, combination of full goods load, slippery rails and
being on an S curve at this point.
