GOODS

  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.

(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 mileage 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.
  1. The following charging basis will apply where sheep, cattle or horses are conveyed in G or UG wagons:

Sheep, Cattle or Horses in G Wagons--

One animal: At the "first animal rate" provided for "cattle" in section 76, paragraph 4, General Scale of Charges.

More than one animal: At class M rate.

Sheep, Cattle or Horses in UG wagons--

Where the size of a consignment requires the use of a UG wagon rail charges are to be charged double class M rate irrespective of the number of animals involved.
