You may be right.
The syntrex can demodulate the PSK data burst which contains the data
for the authority but I dont know if Victrak have modified them to
allow the data to be fed externally into a VDU.
The portable ASW gear in the early days used syntrexes.
Either way , using a safe working system based on obsolete proprietary
hardware really isnt a great idea.
The other stations  between Gheringhap and Maroona which used to have
sidings in the BG days were Cressy,Westmere and Pura Pura.
As they all had wheat silos , I presume that they are still there ,
although the sidings may not be.
Whats the arrangement for operating the grade crossing at Elders BP.?
Is this a key locked deal ,or is there a release in Nth Geelong B.
