The NR trains were numbered MS6 and SM7. MS6 still runs as a conditional
train; SM7 was replaced by SM9, also conditional. MS4 and SM5 were extended
from 1000m to 1300m and the Toll-TNT loading that used to travel on MS6 &
SM7 now goes on these trains. MS6 and SM9 are basically overflow when MS4
and/or SM5 gets to 1300m and there are more containers booked.

PS How often is the Austrac train running? I know it is timetabled daily but
does it run every day? Krel
