    Does anyone know what is the current status of the WCR in Moyasta?

    couple of years back- he said it would cost €500 in coal to start it.
    so I’m presuming it doesn’t run often.

    Doesn't look good, judging by this footage. I'd hope the ITG are aware that their locos (A3r in particular) are exposed.

    to be honest they would likely be aware but they have nowhere else to store the locos unfortunately.
    i know it's not ideal but needs must until somewhere else does become available, if indeed it ever does.

    I'm very highly educated. I know words, i have the best words, nobody has better words then me.
