Funny, there used to be a depot with train crew at Muswellbrook, i know its up the road a bit but not that far. Many of these men that were hunted out of home are still around the traps. How things come full circle.......

That would have been the left-overs of the former NSWGR/StateRail/FreightCorp depot contingent when Muswellbrook loco was still a going concern... Haven't been there (by rail) for many years now so it's probably all goneski.

Ah thankyou for that. I wonder what accomodation is like in that part of the world? I guess it's fairly close to Singleton and Muswellbrook so perhaps not too bad at all.

Can someone please advise as to what the CURRENT hourly pay rate is in 2008 for each grade starting from Trainee Driver through to highest level of driver?
When did Antiene depot open? Never knew of it's existence until two days ago.
Does it appear likely that Antiene crews will go to other places other then Wilpinjong Mine?
Thanks in advance for any info given!

I'm just about apply for it. Knowing my luck I'll lose out on this cause of experienced drivers going fot this to.
But never know, It would be nice to finally have a career in rail, and not just gunzelling with these services

Well I sent the application away today, the main thing I am worried about is that I have never had job before, and couldn't fill in anything for previous employment.
