The section to AP (now AMCOR) is still there but is very over grown and it
was disconnected from the mainline earlier in the year.
The last time it was used was for stabling the machinery used for the
re-sleepering on the Hurstbridge line which occured in about Feb/March, the
same time that the branch was disconnected.
