Re: Ex Newington Arms depot ng line

["Michael Lewis" <mdlewis@bigpond.net.au>]

I visited the Olympic site recently and when I left via Holker St, I noticed
what looked like a narrow gauge track coming from the direction of the river and proceeding under the bridge which is
placed immediately before the village (Newington suburb).

Trains do NOT run here, and probably last ran in 1945-46.
