Hi All,

Just a couple of notes to contribute to this discussion from my own research and a copy of the VR file for the branch, hopefully some help:

* The Gov't Cool Stores / Fish markets sidings were close to, but not on the previous VR ground-level Spencer St - Flinders St connecting line

* Full size VR wagons were shunted in and out of the orange lines on the coloured diagram provided in the prior post. there was a crossover between the lines not shown on this diagram

* Most operations were undertaken in the very small hours of the night to avoid traffic issues
