Until the duplication at Rosanna in 1958, some trains used to terminate
at Rosanna.  The driver would walk to the end of the platform to turn
off the wig-wag at Lower Plenty Road.

The trains definitely had ROSANNA on the destination, and as they were
usually swing door, then there must have been a different version of the
destination roll.
