Sunbury Races, 16th October 1910
[Victorian Railways,
Transportation Branch, 24.11.1910]
Horse
train to Sunbury and three to Rupertswood platform. On return journey with exception of a few, all passengers return from
Rupertswood and as horse train had 6 or more cars the three specials were somewhat overcrowded. 1st class room was about right but 2nd class
insufficient. Horse train had 57 horses on board also a second engine. Specials should have compartment vans Zs and Cs should
not be used.
Rupertswood
platform as previously reported is too short and as these Meetings are regular, I consider steps should be taken to extend
platform at Down end sufficient to hold engine and 12 cars, also trains increased to 12 cars. The level crossing at Up end
is at end of platform ramp, train has therefore to stand clear.
