Another point on the sheep yard lead. Road crews didnt spot stock because  
of the delay that it would involve as it's quite a long move from the 
clearance  point on the lead at the mains all the way down to the chutes.
 
If one had ever been told to do so by the 1970s,because of short time on  
the stock, it would have been the last one. I often wondered what held the 
Sheep  yard lead in guage.  Much of the ballast was cinders.The ties were very 
bad  and the rail was some of the thinnest I ever put cars onto. I used to 
think a  road unit would be on the ground if it went more than 8-10 car 
lengths west of  the board.
