Re: [qrig] Traveston Station

Looks like white ant tracks near the top of the roof, so maybe the cancer might
be terminal. Is it a single platform station?

Subject: [qrig] Traveston Station





All,

Had a look at Traveston Station building today and it is either under repair or
being prepared for demolition (hope not). The actual shelter is fenced off and
boarded up in places:

It would be great to se any pics of this station in its former glory,
particulary when the signal cabin was in existance.

Ray
