    Imagine how many stops there would have been for ER if they used NA's between Gembrook and Omeo.

    You need to think in terms of the Antoforgasta, Chile and Bolivia Railway before it was regauged, 750 miles of 2 ft 6 in railway, over 200 miles being up an almost continouse 1 in 33 grade, haulling 1000 ton trains with 80 ton loco's. The international express taking something like 2 days or so to do the trip.

    Now that would have been a railway trip, the express was marketed at the time (latish 19th century)  as a tourist trip.
