Coal Porter

I took this photo on instinct (I've been a trainspotter-by-duress for many years – ask anyone who grew up in Dover Place, Engadine) and this region's coal trains horrify/fascinate me. Also, the backdrop's pretty (for now):


However, Mick (who was meant to be watching the road of course – I'm a shocking passenger, always with the invisible brake) noticed the signage, which neither of us had seen here before:


Looks positively Cyborg, doesn't it? Well it used to stand for Queensland Rail.
As Mick, my beloved, decent, sensible Mick said,
"What the fuck are they doin' down here?"
