I went to Albion (I think) and asked the SM on duty if I could go down and take
a photo of the Queenslander.  He said it was not allowed.  I told him I had
permission from Corporate relations.  He then spent half an hour on the phone
ringing around, then told me 45 minutes after I had arrived that it would be
OK.  Too bad the train went through 10 minutes earlier.
