Yukan, one of the great train watching spots. Double track,
electrified branch with 10,000 tonne coal trains, Crossing loop on
single line Main North Coast line, and crossing loop on 2' gauge cane
line. In about 1988 I got a five way cross there - 2 on the MNC, 2
Cane Trams and a coalie.

Anyone got a six way ????? If anyone can Yukan (sorry).
