  1. Livestock

  2. Wagon Rates—(a) The following wagon rates will be charged for the conveyance of livestock:

H or J wagons .. .. .. .. Class M.
Hc or Jc wagons .. .. .. .. Class M plus one-third.
S or T wagons .. .. .. .. .. Class M double-rate.
LA wagons for the conveyance of calves not exceeding
14 days old .. .. .. .. .. Class M less one-third.

Except in the case of calves not exceeding 14 days conveyed in LA wagons, livestock conveyed in wagons other than H, Hc, J, Jc, S, or T will be charged as for the number of stock wagons of the appropriate type that would have been required to transport the consignment.

(b) If wagons of livestock consigned to one station are on arrival at that station reconsigned without being unloaded, railage charges will be computed on the through milage from the original forwarding station to the final destination station. Diversion charges provided in section 119 will also apply.

  1. Mixed Consignments of cattle, horses, ponies, foals, hounds, or drover’s dogs loaded in the same wagon will be charged separately for each class of animal or as one lot as “cattle”, whichever is the cheaper. Where mixed consignments are carried and charged at the small-lots scale, the first animal rate will be charged on the highest rated animal in each wagon and the respective rates as for the additional animals on the remainder.

  2. Part Wagons—When a wagon is only partially occupied by a consignment of livestock, the Department reserves to itself the right to fill the wagon to its full carrying capacity with other stock. If a whole wagon is specially required by the consignor, the wagon rate will be charged, irrespective of the number of animals.

When one consignor, or two different consignors at one forwarding station, load sheep, calves, lambs, or pigs on separate decks of a J wagon to the same consignee, or different consignees at the one destination station, the charges will be computed as follows:

                    Charge          Maximum             Minimum for Wagon

First consignment .. Small-lots rate Half wagon rate \ Half wagon rate for the
Second consignment .. Small-lots rate Half wagon rate / combined charges.
