Lindsay well may have found the rail issue, the problem is that the oral tradition in Augusta in the 1980's was that parts of the Davies system were difficult to traverse due to the rails and methods of construction. Perhaps there is something in Lindsays article that might corroborate this. The 1950's timetable for Flinders - Margaret River suggests snail pace travel - that's either steep grades, or poor track. My 1922 loads book has ridiculously small load rates. User:SatuSuro 04:23, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
