Correct One's Own Spelling Dept.

Oops! Please read Panitya and Pinnaroo for my crook spelling.

By the way, have our fellow intrepid travellers noted the ex SAR 4
wheeled open wagons used for storage of superphosphate at Lameroo?

Noticed also at Lameroo on 20 Feb were 4 bogie open wagons in the
process of being lashed down (the tarps that is....). One of these
wagons had 3 axles out of 4 with spoked wheels AND Andrews bogies.

The rails appear to show some use between Pinnaroo and Lamaroo with
the rails from Lameroo towards Tailem Bend being almost quite shiny!

Level crossing lights have been replaced at two crossings with Railway
Crossing - Give Way signs.

Cheers
