Hi By my reckoning there are 5 freight trains each way a day, each allowed up to either 1200 or 1500 metres in length. While this doesn't seem much, before the...
Since we all seem to be having a go with the predictions, I thought I would give it a go (sorry but it's going to be very much BR specific): January - BR...

Bill Are you saying that in the RRM case - that the 2 separate sections of track are under a different arrangement - where one is paid for - and the other is...
*** Sorry folks, I'm not having a good week *** Whilst not part of any of the groups currently, although intend on being a BR volunteer in the near future, I...

Peter, Too many diesel fumes last night mate ;-) Will only get worse after tomorrow if all I see is sparks running along the NCL. I think I need a good dose...
Ben - for your sake I hope you can get some more diesel fumes tomorrow - go a bit easier this time though. Going cold turkey from your sort of high could be a...
Jimboomba bridges would come under Main Roads would they not as they are part of the Mt Lindsay Highway??? You soon appreciate how much easier it is for PNQ...
Ben Would the bridges be there if there was no railway? If one of them fell down, would BR pay for a new bridge or would QT/Main Roads simply fill the hole...
Bill, Unfortunately I don't know about the collapse of the bridge. I was under the impression that it was gone by the time ARHSQ leased the corridor. Maybe...
While spending xmas on my mothers property up north, I passed a lot of time by filming the various movements between Curra & Tiaro on the NCL. For an upcoming...
Ben The bridge collapsed in Jan 1974, don't know if you remember the Australia Day floods. ARHSQ moved onto the top section in Nov 1984, so the bridge was ...
Ben "Prescription" Rx For God's sake mate, get yourself up to Gympie this afternoon after your trip to Mooloolah and watch the Mary Valley Rattler come in from...
The Sydney - Brisbane line is presently at near capacity due to a number of reasons. 1. The safe working system between Acacia Ridge and Casino, when two...
Thanks for your reply Leon. I didn't realise that there were so many issues with this line. I just assumed that because nothing seemed to run all day over ACR...
Neill I recently received some correspondence by sources high up in QR that QR National/Interail are looking at increasing their services to 3 trains a day at...
Bill, As I only came into the world in 1981, I certainly don't remember the 1974 floods ;-) As for the dream of the new bridge, does ARHSQ continue to lobby...
Ben You would be in the minority as most people get quite upset having to wait that long,not to mention the police complaining about the congestion if...
Ben We are in Ipswich City which means we don't qualify for any of the rural/regional types funding arrangements. We also appear to be in a politically stable...
Hi All I presume you guys have looked into it but a cut and fill may be more suitable such as on the NCL at Yandina. There should be less ongoing maintenance...
Steve, That's the first time I've heard that. It is the body tilt, combined with a low centre of gravity which enabled the higher speeds. There are actually...
Garner That is the latest system we have looked at but it is still a few hundred thousand dollars. One problem with this type of construction is that you need...
The new CTT timetable, effective from 17/ 1/2005 is rather interesting. The original departure and arrival times at both ends have been restored, but there has...
Ben I am not qualified to judge your sanity but I admire your optimism AND MORE IMPORTANTLY ----- YOU HAVE A BUSINESS PLAN. Whilst BR has had more than its...

Well said Bat, We still have the same problem down South. If we could just avert the dreaded Curfew in Sydney the amount of money they could earn in access...
