I was doing my Shunters Class in Feb '81 when an Ambulance was called to "D" Balloon in the
Melbourne Yard. A young lady had taken a ride on a "Jet" from Adelaide in an "AOOX" with 2 Loaded
Containers. She must have fallen asleep just prior to arrival in Melbourne and was crushed in the
wagon when it went over the "Hump".
