The problem here is that these messages are being crossposted to both
aus.tv and aus.rail.
In aus.rail we are all train enthusiasts or work for the railways.
Attention to those petty details is what we are interested in - what
our hobby is all about.
We do not wish to lessen the tragedy in anyway, nor the way the story
was portrayed. Though those "minor" details do grate heavely on those
of us interested in railways.
