Nick,
Is this a thought experiment about OSM mapping or a question about loading
gauges that the ARTC might better answer?
My quick guess is that OSM cannot answer the question either in the affirmative
or the negative as it doesn't have data every 50 meters along the route.

Yes it would be better for ARTC to answer but before I bother them I would
like to know if it is at all feasable. Specifically, I am concerned that
one of the tunnels between Queanbeyan and Bungendore may well be
Just use openstreetbugs to geolocate the splinters, and we'll get to work.

Actually, I've just had a go with a 50 metre stick insect in JOSM and it
is REALLY touch and go (or is that touch and stay).

Maybe I'm missing something but surely it depends not only on the radius
of curvature of the track but also the width of the tunnel. It has been
bugging me that ways have no width in OSM. But I suppose the alternative
would be very hard to manage.
Secondly, even if you don't trust the path
Russell wrote you could at least work out a minimum radius of curvature
OK - what I will do is find out the tunnel width.
Then I'll assume that we offload the objecty just before the tunnel and
walk it through with the object rotated 90 degrees through the long axis.
I'll do as you suggest and
Ok - my initial drawings, using JOSM and a tunnel width of 3 metres show
that this could end up being a matter of inches. I really have to find out
exact dimensions of the object and whether there is any flexability in it
so that we could bend it around the tunnel.
Also, if two tunnels are such a
Nick… I'm not sure what you're doing, it sounds fascinating, mysterious and
dangerous. I like it. Please let me know what path you're taking through Sydney
so I can avoid the area completely... I don't want to crash a brand new $30m
Waratah into your ladder!
This info from ARTC will be handy …
