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.

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...
