    To get to narrandera from the whitton cotton gin via leeton is about 65k and no loading facilities at narrandera (forklift)

    To get to Narrandera via the sturt highway is 80k and no loading facilities at narrandera (forklift)

    To get to griffith from the gin is 47k and facilities to load at PN or Patricks depot (not sure who owns it) which has two forklifts for loading/unloading

    Of course "unrealistically" they could rebuild the yanco - whitton line at considerable cost to only be used for 4 months of the year ;-)

    Griffith makes sense unless they ever get the PN depot relocated to wumbulgal which is already marked as a line side loading point for Australian Grain Link Au Grain Link

    To get to Wumbulgal is 28K from the whitton gin but no infrastructure there for direct handling of containers such as concrete aprons and forklifts unless of course PN or patricks depot is actually moved there.
