hmmm.... I think you will find that the term "Station Mistress" is no longer
used.  Certainly on the Citytrain network, where internal vacancies are
advertised as Station Master or Station Officer.  And I am fairly sure that
there are no longer any Station Mistresses positions in country locations.
On of the last (if not the last) was at Mount Surprise, when the
"Savannahlander" only ran on the Forsayth-Mt Suprise section.
