taking the train

So philis shoved up a photo with the idea of using the train reduces your carbon foot print. Now if that is the case why does it drive and not use countrylink services to get to locations to take its million close up brick photos ? Maybe philis can take there own advice and next time use the train or countrylink bus to go get there photos or just simply shut the fark up on your facebook page telling everybody else to use the train.

Near the railway line

 Now i find it very funny that philis bucket has had a hissy fit on facebook about events that took place what was it 4 or more years ago. Once again it scrapes the bottom of the bucket to rehash old crap that was done yrs ago. But here is the funny thing the guy is more guilty of tresspassing in railway areas time and time again its photos showed it did the wrong thing. Lets see tottenham it was walking around the old turntable even though the line was cut from the active line it was still inside the rail corridor. Temora to look across at the station it was inside the corridor in the grain corp area. Bogan gate wherr they dump ballast for track work again inside the corridor area. Maybe philis bucket shouldnt throw stones in glass houses as its just as guilty of being in the wrong area time and time again.

This is wickham pannel the only thing it controlled was 2 sets of boom gates 1 at the station and 1 near hamilton. There was only toggles 1 for each boom gate and the 2 signals. Inside this box there was a toilet and a small stove oven thing and a microwave and also a tv set for back shift as really back shift was a pretty quite time and a desk that had the panel on it and 2 phones. It really wasnt a massive box at all

We knew he had used this with out asking if he could. The photo has a tiny dirt mark on the lens so we knew it was mine. Phil has a nasty little habbit of doing this where he wont give the credit for the photos or videos he has used. grain co...
