RAILCORP “PULLS THE PLUG” FOR MORTUARY STATION COAL LOADING

“It must be embarrassment.”

“On Saturday
evening 23rd June, 2007, locomotive 3801 was again re-coaled in front of the
Heritage Listed Mortuary Station. On this occasion 13 or 14 tonne of coal was
loaded from a truck onto locomotive 3801 by the Rail Transport
Museum. Who arranged for
the yard’s floodlights in the Mortuary Station area to be turned off?”

“This action surely shows that there are
serious concerns about the implications of this operation and its damaging
effect on a S170 Conservation and Heritage RailCorp listed building. This
matter should demand urgent attention from the Office of Rail Heritage.
Minister John Watkins problem – IT
IS TIME HE ACTED”
