Or.... you build a set of catchpoints on the bridge that crosses Moonee 
Ponds Creek on the Albion-Jacana goods line, and watch the train plummet 
about 30m or so to a rather crushing finish.. Would look spectacular too.. 
:-)

Either that, or build a siding about 200m on the down end of that bridge, 
and run it into my front yard :-)
