Would this be PN's last contracted BG train with the exception of Mildura as they have already killed swan hill and boost ?
Might be an opening for transvolution to break into the market?
Just watched the Swan Hill goods video. It had 4 louvre vans attached to a grain train. If that was a usual Swan Hill goods, no wonder it was cancelled.
Here's a link to Asciano's 2015 annual report. Have a read through and you might learn something
If Blue Scope Wollongong goes where will that leave PN?
Its a big ish report - might be useful if you give a few pointers at what your points are.

Steel is a whole other problem...without a car industry after 2017 there's probably not going to be much need to run train loads of coiled steel to Melbourne anymore...no matter who wants to haul it.
I tend to agree the future for steel in this country looks more uncertain. When the car industry does close demand will obviously drop off but where does this leave the steel plants which service the industry? Port Kembla as stated is looking shaky and might Long Island be in a little bit of strife?I would have thought that demand for steel will be driven by the construction industry over the next decade. With mining slowing down construction is being touted as the industry designate to soak up all those jobs which are being lost in mining, particularly mining construction.
Will we need all the steel making capacity when the demand falls?
But who would operate it? SSR seems like the logical choice given their BG loco set and willingness to compete for freight. Qube aren't going to touch services that don't go to the docks, so they're out.Don't forget the Tocumwal Freight.Would this be PN's last contracted BG train with the exception of Mildura as they have already killed swan hill and boost ?
- PacNat runs the Warrnambool Goods in addition to the Mildura 'Fruity'.
- The town is called Boort, not 'boost'.
That would be a quick gauge conversion.waynesTonight told Hansen are looking for a new operator for their trains.
GML10 heading west from Melbourne to Whyalla to pick up ore hoppers for QUBE's takeover of the Kilmore East Hanson quarry train from January 10th 2016.
Many options for motive power on this. Convert more VL's or G's from CFCLA, convert GML10 may be do-able. SSR have some BG loco's doing nothing in bendigo at present. Already mention SRHC. a C back on BG perhaps?That would be a quick gauge conversion.waynesTonight told Hansen are looking for a new operator for their trains.

Any links or more info on this? What available locomotives are there on BG to haul this consist? Back to SRHC again?
