What was & where was Diamond National?
Wasn't this contract suppose to have been awarded last year? Rebuilding the P40 fleet in addition to the "top deck overhaul" of the GP40's?
Yes, God forbid that a car go over the derail, it should derail the car A-W-A-Y from the main track!
Nice bumpers!
What days of the week is EDPL currently running? Anyone know?
Who was out there yesterday at the dam flying the drone? I assume taking pictures of the 2pm train?
