Steve Foster:

Some memories of what we did each week as a JSA,s.
Lawn opposite platform was mowed and hibiscus plants and boundary line on a Monday. If we needed to burn off rubbish it was under or around the water tank. Monday was always the day to change any blown yard lights. Once the new bloke was initiated to it it was an easy job but if Len Hobbins turns up in bad mood you made it a day out. Have a yarn with the signalmen and the train examiner.
Every day the platform would start being cleaned and all the barrows lined up in the middle part of the platform, big V barrows for mail bags, sack barrows for moving dog boxes amounst others and parcel luggage barrows.
The gravel at the top of platform leading to steps had to be racked after passenger trains departed.
Len always said when he caught us holed up somewhere having a joke and a yarn, I don't care about what your doing as you have the place stick and span so just walk around with a broom in your hand, it looks like you are working and we do get surprised visits. Len was the best I ever worked under in my career of 19 years.

Not a clear photo unfortunately, but probably the earliest one that actually shows the location of Casino station under construction in 1929.

Casino today. (3/8/2022) Still haven't restored the signalling after the March steel train derailment! However, the former Murwillumbah branch and loco depot are no longer attached to the Main line. Very much doubt they ever will be again.
