There once was a time when even rail used rail to transport everything required for track maintenance including major bridge components all jewellery & turnout rails with scrap being sent back in open wagons.
Bridge components at Wauchope in the early 90's ready for weekend upgrading works between Telegraph Point & Kempsey (replacing old timber trestle approaches to steel truss bridges) in preparation for the regular running of the heavier 81 class locomotives which at this stage have only been on the Coast for trail purposes.
