Spoil train at Wacol Queensland 

That was a long time ago Ken and I'm sorry I can't remember seeing them being emptied.

That is so sad Adrian. My condolences. There is always someone to talk to, but mental health is such a personal thing, particularly for us men. And you're right about the people you work with make the job.

@Alan Jones yeah exactly Alan. And it's been my experience it's usually the ones who always put on the brave face and joke around that have the dark side gnawing at them. A side note, I worked this job a fair bit. I end up being giving a steer at the mini excavator to unload some of the wagons, because I told the operator that I had once been a plant operator before joining QR. He put me on, asked me if I wanted a coffee from the shop and left me to it for over half-hour. The QR trackie managing the job was making sure I did it right too, the best bit of fun I had while I was supposed to be sitting on the Diesel. By the way, we all loved this job because of the take away shop with the Hugest Steak Burgers you could find... they feed an army for a week they were that big.

@@adriannettlefold9084 I must try that shop next time. The Asian shop across the other side of the road is okay too. I agree that playing with excavators is fun, although I only have driven a Dingo skid steer with triple bucket in my own back yard.

+Jamie Tane You're right, luckily it's not a major thoroughfare and the spoil train isn't there every day.
