“You’re doing 40kph, arriving at Muswellbrook, with 3 red 81’s and 72 wagons of coal from Ulan, run thru the yard, then ‘into it’ to keep your 7000 tonne train on the move.....due to the constant rain
over the last few days, there are 15kph speed restrictions at several bridges where the ground has subsided (due to the incompetent fool working the Route Editor !!) and to add to the woes, there is a disabled train
at Branxton, so you will be running via the ‘down’ line from Branxton to Lochinvar. From Maitland you will run via the ‘pass lines’ , due to bridge work at White City, then into the coal unloader.”
Loads of fun, this one, trying to keep to the 15kph speed restrictions.
