My post about the renaming occurring in 1907 was obtained by looking up
Sunshine references. The renaming occurred in Dec.1906, and was announced
in Weekly Notice 50/06, dated 10.12.1906. The first Weekly Notice item
under the heading of Sunshine was the relocation of a signal in Sept.1907.
The Bulletin article on the 20.4.1908 disaster mentions that the former
name was still in widespread use at the time. This is hardly surprising.
A decade after Pioneer Quarries took over the quarry at Kilmore East,
railway employees and enthusiasts still refer to the train as the 'Apex',
after the former owner.
