Delec locomotive depot was served by this station and was immediately to the left. Today, the station still survives, but the depot has gone. The track now ends where the photographer stands and is only used for shunting a nearby mill.

42211 4453 at Bombo Quarry for a load of ballast.

42215 was always the hardest of the class for me to obtain photographs of. I remember being being quite happy when she rolled through Marrickviille on this occasion.
Despite finally scoring her, she still remained quite elusive over the years.

Though I did get 42215 in blue at Picton many years later.

I personally toast my bread, toss it on the ground and of course it will land on what should be the buttered side, then I simply butter the opposite side therefore removing any fear of dropping it again, I sometimes drop it on purpose to annoy the toast before I eat it!
