Road  Trains 
This  is a recent  email sent regarding the cattle trains at Helen Springs  Station. 

There  are interesting statistics.     

There  are 17 trucks with 3 trailers and 2 decks per  trailer;  

Therefore  there are 102 decks of cattle and there would be  approximately  

28  cattle per deck; This totals 2,856 head of  cattle  

The  cattle will weigh approximately 500kg each (1102.3  lbs.)  

The  sale price for cattle at Longreach is approx. 165c/kg  (75c/lb.)  

Each  animal will therefore be sold at  $825.  

Total  revenue from this analysis is  $2,356,200  

Another  interesting  fact:  

Each  trailer has 24 tyres plus a dolly with 8  tyres  

For  the 72 trucks there are 4,464 tyres on the  road  

Now  that's a Road  Train!!
