Webb Dock

I've just driven past MFT this Saturday morning (1 Aug 98) on the way
to work and can confirm that new track is being laid from the
automatic gates (at the intersection of Footscray Road/Piggott Street
opposite the entrance to Victoria Dock) back to the railway line. The
is a large digger, a flat car with a couple of panels of track
(points?) and a crew leaning on shovels. The two tracks are at some
difference in height so it would appear that there will be a fair bit
of ballast required to bring the Webb Dock track up to the MFT track.

With this work underway, I saw no sign of 9461's wagons which are
normally at the work site (run early? cancelled?)

Regards

Yuri
