Does anyone know who owns the old rollingstock still sitting in the
sidings behind Glenreagh Station? Are they owned by the Dorrigo group
or Glenreagh Mountain Railway or someone else?

I saw them when coming back to Brisbane from Sydney on NT3 XPT the
other week and was surprised by how much the rollingstock appears to be
deteriorating.

The single deck suburban car I have been told, is sort of owned by Bruce Cook.

What did he, sort of, pay for it with? Monopoly money?

Graham,

Most of the rolling stock is owned by Dorrigo. It was marooned there when
State Rail moved to reclaim the line in 1989.

Trevor,
The rollingstock was previously marooned at Glenreagh from 1986 when the Dorrigo line closed due to vegetation regrowth, not 1989 as you claim.
The marooning of rollingstock had nothing to do with State Rail as the line had already been "CLOSED" and untrafficable 3 years earlier

As a follow on, I do know that unit from the Army Reserves(Engineers)
did a week's(or more) exercise(s) in removing said vegetation(1990s?)
from the Dorrigo end. That is as detailed as I was given from a
participant.
