Re: [qrig] Re: QLD sightings.

I hope that was a loaded molasses you followed, not much point taking an
empty one there.

So far as regularity, when they run, one runs to kingsthorpe and the
next day one runs to Warwick (or vice versa). I've unloaded at both
places on all days of the week and at any times after about 0530 . The
train returns north as 1 train generally.
Generally the trains run more frequently during the crush and slow as
the year wears on possibly stopping, generally speaking.

Please note, a lot of generally's in this post. This train does seem to
run as req, when molasses is available and the feed companies have room.
