This is a niche case but if my little ICE Suzuki Jimny runs out of fuel halfway between Dargo and Jameson, I would need my mate to drive to Woods Point with a Jerry van and then come back.
If a CyberTruck, Rivian or Ford Lightning runs out of electricity in a similar location, someone with a bigger diesel 4WD truck (like a Unimog or Iveco) will either need to drag a huge industrial generator up there or carry it on a flat-bed to Traralgon or Mansfield to recharge.
That said, if an obnoxiously large diesel 4WD like a RAM, F-truck, Silverado or Tundra or a notoriously unreliable 4WD like a Ranger gets stranded up there due to mechanical failure or it is just too big to fit on any of the tracks, it would also need to be carted out in the back of a flatbed too.
