It's been fun.  But it isn't much fun anymore.   Signing off for now.

Ah yes! Much better! We shall communicate in a understandable form for our inverted connections down under.

The Pilbara rail operations are pretty much in the middle of nowhere and aren't part of the rest of the Australian rail network, three different gauges and all.

The daily commute is part of everyday life but I get two rides a day out of it. Paul

Any color, any kind for only $29.95, that's Earl Scheib.

Yes they are isolated though it's still a part of Aussie railroading..
