I believe they got a hiding from the West Coast Eagles. I believe that
Essendon is looking at leaving the ground totally by moving its training
facilities to Docklands Stadium.

I have some video of V214 and X2 676 using the loop in its entirity in
January 1992, by this time the football traffic had disappeared and the loop
had not been used in around 6 months. On the same tour, we used the heavily
overgrown siding at West Marybinong - also now no longer.

Steve Dalton organised this tour from South Melb Depot - so many changes in
10 years - no tours in old cars, no sidings, no depot and bugger all W's!

I haven't looked at it in years, Malcolm.

Only for training. Wish I had have been into photography when I was
younger, remember the long queue of trams waiting to take people home after
the game which slowly changed from green to orange over the years, not to
mention the red rattlers on the Broadmeadows line with the first couple of
carriages shut off courtesy of drunken footy fans and broken glass...
