Good pictures, David!

Thanks for the look inside an Aussie signal box, Cudgee.

J.O., that is an awesome keepsake, thanks for showing.

Cudgee: Bet that guy had a good memory! Imagine the mechanical workings under that yard. My Dad had a switch club in the trunk of his '49 Hudson. It was a massive hunk of hickory wood twice the size of a baseball bat. It was shoved into a hole in the iron weight on the end of the switch rod to throw the rod over and activate the switch. Love that railroad stuff! J.O'.

Have you ever wondered.
I see Swift trailers and containers on trains.

But Swift drivers always seem to be the ones doing idiot stuff.

Makes me wonder....
