I don't know about Yarraville A that was abolished along time ago,  but at
Yarraville B there was a trailing cross over between the main lines on the down
side of the level crossing. Access to the yard was by a set back movement from the
down line the movements were all governed by dwarf signals and there was a second
interlocked gate over the track to the sidings which were located behind the down
platform. Last time I visited that area the Signalbox was all boarded up and booms
had replaced the interlocked gates and there was no evidence of the sidings.
