RAILCORP “PULLS THE PLUG” FOR MORTUARY STATION COAL LOADING

Chippendale Residents report that the lights which normally are on around the mortuary station and bus interchange went off for the latest Coaling of 3801 at Mortuary Station. It is believed the action was taken to make the loading less visible to those in the surrounding areas and prevent photo’s of the coaling like those recently taken by Friends of Eveleigh. The Friends of Eveleigh released the brief media statement below about the latest coaling episode:

“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”

From Media Release of 28^th June 2007 by Friends of Eveleigh Media release - PO Box 381, Belrose West NSW 2085
