North Melbourne and Essendon, Brooklyn signal box is no longer attended
on Saturdays so they have to run that way. If Brooklyn was staffed on
Saturdays for a special train then the spark transfer has been know to
go that way.

The pictures on my page show it going up the Glenroy bank, and it sure
takes its time.
(that is how we can get pictures of it at Oak Park, Glenroy bank,
Glenroy, Jacana)
