Richard, Don't forget that diesel locos are not like motor vehicles, you can't just start them and expect them to pull a train right away. By keeping a loco ...
Robert, Could you give me a link to the CM pic showing the 1300 please. The only pic I have is today's showing the actual accident. Thanks, Ken S BTW:- Happy...
Hi all How many more of these accidents are going to happen before action is taken??????? Very Sad for the truck driver, but it is a thing which is very...
Kevin Firstly, my apologies for my language slip - it is something that I try to avoid - to mind, a loco is not a train, trains and locos set back and never...
Ken. It was a tiny url sent by Bill N earlier today. None of todays posts show on the Messages page ( Dean, are you aware of this?). I usually delete most of...
The way I see it, when reporting a train it hardly seems necessary to say something is attached. If it ain't attached it ain't on the train therefore it...
Kev, What you say is generally true when using GMs I have found. However it is all different when using the NR class. They are thirsty things which use fuel...
Ken The CM got rid of the photo off the story when the story was updated. It was 1329 with CAIRNS on the destination roller and a painted SUNLANDER board on...

Peter I agree with you that the term Mexican was originally applied to those immediately south of the Murray by those immediately north. However, I thought...
Thanks Robert. I've seen that pic, so it's not important. Cheers, Ken S ... From: Robert Gill To: qrig@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, January 01, 2009 7:58 PM...
Kevin We are now getting into one of my favourite (in my wife's words - annoying) habits - arguing the use of language! As I said before,, in some cases the...
Kevin Lyons wrote; In addition: In Qld, the correct term is vehicle. Dead attached is a term that I've never understood anyway. Surely the attached bit is...
All, This is un-believable, what is wrong with everyone? Did the CTT accident have no effect on his driving habits? I doubt the truck driver knows the train...
Frank, Rather little disturbing isn't it ? It is about time government stepped in and did something since commonsense went out long ago. Ben _____ From:...
Robert & All "It will be interesting to read the ATSB report when it is released. The Sunlander is not known for its "high speed" travel." While I will stand...
I think Peter comes closest to the history of this terminology. In NSWGR steam days it was common to attach steam locos to trains in order to position them for...
All, The report on tonight's Seven News had everyone calling for lights and booms to be immediately installed at all level crossings in Qld. Now we all know...
Agree Frank/Ben, Q, is it me or is the bulk of Qld LX train-road vehicle incentents (not just deaths) between T'ville and Carins over the last few years? And...

Thanks Richard! Some people who like the term EL for electric locos had to remember that not all ELs are electric locos especially when the standard gauge EL...
... That makes the second current/former Burdekin sugar loco needing major repairs post level crossing this year, it'll be joining 2182D. Looks like it'll be a...
Why is it that Stop signs work perfectly well on thousands of intersections every day but apparently one must have booms, a physical barrier, to stop morons...
Bill Would 2196 and 2479 be written off ? My sympathy goes out to the train drivers and QR plus the truck driver's family this is so sad for all off us. Mark...
... 2479D didn't look too bad. 2196F is in a mess, but considering 2182D was a burnt out hulk and is getting repaired, I'd say 2196F is likely for rebuild -...
Mark 2479 only went strolling in the dirt so it's unlikely to be too badly damaged. 2196 appears to have had its front bogie ripped off and will be a candidate...

Yes.. this was what I was just thinking. There is a stop sign at the level crossing, which is no different from any other stop sign. The rules of the road are...
