From the port road to the buffer stops will be double tracked with cross over points , so the track nearest the port will be available for freight on/off loads . What actual freight remains to be seen.

Some customers would be hesitant about signing up for a railway that doesn't yet exist. Loops and yards will, in part, be configured to the needs of customers. In any case you provide no evidence that there are no customers.

Yes , i lost sight rounding the bend , but considering Im not flying over people ​or that there's any possibility of an encountering a aircraft at this altitude I did stray briefly beyond line of sight . lt happens. I'm sure you agree it not as risky as flying well over 1500 feet in a zone where the legal limit is only 150 feet in a area where aircraft are liable to be. While I am happy you now have embraced the drone rules so much I see you haven't put up any new videos of your own recently. Have you stopped flying ?
