88-12. Ravenhall siding.
Ravenhall was the old Commonwealth Department of Supply, Explosives Railway Siding
that junctioned off the Ballarat Line at Deer Park. A prohibited area, the
train could not enter the yard proper, so I never knew what was at the end of
the siding. I suspect it was a P-van, 4-wheel Powder Van of the same type as
seen in the photograph at Roll 38-1.
