    Posted in New South Wales » Taralga bauxite

    Is this a recent post?  The press announcement says its from 2012, but there are no years showing in the post date/time on the posts!

    In any case, to add my thoughts (even if belatedly!):

    Are there sufficient paths available down to Pt Kembla?

    According to NSWrail.net (thanks Rolfe), not much remains of the Taralga branch:

    But the Crookwell line is still there:

    http://www.nswrail.net/lines/show.php?name=NSW:crookwell

    I wonder what the cost of upgrading would be to a point on the Crookwell line to train it all?

    Also, this is the same company that decided to use TasRail to move its product to port, even though it was a short distance to port.
