On the occasion of the accident the senior shunter, whose name is Roach, was stationed up the yard a considerable distance south of the place where the accident occurred. What the distance was it would be hard to say. The plan of the yards put in bears no scale and it is hardly possible to supply the deficiency from the oral estimates of various distances and from the information contained upon a plan, put in, of a small portion of the locus in quo. But Roach was standing at the shunting-neck. The down main that enters the yard from the south fans out into a down relief siding, a down through road and a down shunting-neck. The down shunting-neck, in turn, fans out into five marshalling grids or sidings and into the eight down sidings which open out further north than the marshalling sidings. Roach was on the main shunting-neck. The pointsman Hicks was stationed at the points where the eight down sidings, as distinguished from the down marshalling grids or sidings, branch off. Their fanning out means that going north they curve before they straighten out into eight parallel lines. The No. 1 man, Coleman, was assisting the senior shunter. He was further north and had crossed westerly to inquire about a delayed train which had pulled up on a down line, perhaps the down through. The train moved off and he turned to come back just as the accident happened. He says that he was one hundred and fifty yards away. The middleman, Starr, was down at the bottom end, uncoupling the engine of the goods train which had just come in, that upon which the deceased and Cole had travelled from Teralba. There is no evidence what the bottom man, Stone, was doing. Indeed in the evidence there is some confusion between him and Starr and it would perhaps be open to the jury to conclude that Starr was the bottom man and Stone, as middleman, was unaccounted for. Of these men only Coleman was called as a witness.
