I flew over the Newport work on Sat.26.4 afternoon (in VH-ANB, an Ansett
727 making its last flight for Ansett). The top half of the signalbox
had been cut off on Friday and lifted into the former goods yard. The
frame had been removed intact. The rest of the signalbox substructure
was bulldozed.

Signs at Spencer St indicate that trackwork is also happening between
Footscray and Sunshine. Buses connect at Footscray with Werribee trains
from 20.00 on Thurs.24-Wed.30.4 plus Mon.5.5. On Sat.26.4 a ballast
train for the work had an S leading two Hs.
