In the Sydney Morning Herald on Monday 
30 November and Wednesday 2 December 
Rail Services Australia was calling for 
tenders to supply road freight for 
ballast from Bombo, Ardglen and Martin's
Creek for a period of 2 years. Why by road 
when each of these quarries has a rail 
connection? 
That will be a lot of trucks on the road. 
Say, two per rail wagon, most ballast 
trains being 20 wagons long.
