    Hi (waymax)

    Thanks very much for enlightening me on those fact's.
    As I have said on several occasions I have no mining or rail experience.
    Any thing I say is from figures in announcements or my memory of the figures or what I think in my head as may be the case.

    One report. Scoping Study by ProMet Engineers June 2006. Said 16 locomotives - 1040 wagons.
    Rail corridor is relatively flat or down hill for loaded condition.
    I believe there will be a need for one bridge in the lower reaches to port.Just found Euroz Securities Report saying one bridge over a river in lower reaches closer to the loading facility.

    Directors Annual Report 2008 said.(I was wrong about wagons and tonnage)
    Heavy haul railway - Trains consisting of four locomotives hauling 200 wagons,each with a 125-tonne payload and axle loads of 37 tonnes - return cycle time 26.5 hours (including load and unload operations).

    If we double the number of the wagons I said and halve the tonnage per wagon I said we both work out about the same tonnage per trip.

    The rail line is going to serve SDL and other mines on the way to port.Timber - General freight - Passengers from Cameroon to Gabon - The Congo Republic and the other way.
    The latest announcement indicates iron ore from Belinga - Avima and Badondo are more then likely going to be sent to port in Cameroon on the SDL railway line as well.

    Thanks again for your input it is very welcome.

    Regards
    Westcott.
