In the Deep South most branches are still Ordinary Train Staff and
Ticket even such silly sections as Junee Triangle and Henty to Henty
Bulkhead. I think Junee to Griffith and Coota to Parkes is still
Electric Staff.
I remember in the mid 1980's we used to turn on the triangle at
Narrabri and required FOUR staffs for the move!!!! Narrabri West South
Triangle (OTS), Narrabri West North Triangle(OTS), Narrabri Junction
toTurrawan (ES) and Narrabri Junction to Narrabri. The East leg of the
triangle was Narrabri Junction station limits but you needed an
electric staff to get out to the Home signal at each end to get around
the triangle.
