Re: Penguin saved by Train Driver

[Neil Waller <nwaller@dehaa.sa.gov.au>]

This story reminds me of the only trip I ever had on the Port
Lincoln Division of the old SAR back when Model 75 Railmotors
ran a passenger service.

On the down trip the train stopped at one of the stations and
a long discussion with Train Control took place.

A little way into the next section the train stopped and the
driver and guard hopped out and went picking mushrooms in the
adjacent paddock.

Train Control was contacted at the next station and the bounty
of the mushroom harvest was duly reported.

I don't know what the order said but was it:

"Proceed to xxxxx, stop at Mr Blogg's paddock, Pick mushrooms,
report at yyyyyy"?
