I vividly remember during my early years in the job (late '70s) we'd
take an old 42 footer set to the Abbatoirs then Lidcombe then Pippita.
At Pippita dozens of Ford workers would get off, and walk straight
across the up line, through a hole in the fence and into the Ford
premises.
I think there was an overbridge but I don't think it went into Ford,
only over to the milk sidings.
The times have a'changed.
