Hi Huck et al,

Your worries start now....

Rio Tinto Iron Ore - Rail

Note the comment in the 'train profile'.....

"Each train is operated by a single driver, and comprises up to 234 ore cars, each ore car with a load capacity of approximately 112 tonnes. A fully loaded train weighs approximately 31,000 tonnes and is about 2.4 kilometres in length."

AS the Flight Engineers, and the Navigators before them said.....
'They'll never get rid of us'.....

p.s. I for one, hope that 'they' don't...

Cheers
