I should have described this beter
the Steel train runs 2 return trips a day (one in daylight and one at night) these consist of 1-3 diesels hauling either shiping containers or open wagons (sometimes both) with steel slabs to be roled into coiled steel sheeting at the steel works 3/4 along the line towards Stony Point at a place called Hastings. (it is run by Blue Scope Steel which is owned by BHP Biliton) these trains are hence referied to as steel trains or "steelies".
