The Semi-Retired Foamer has been a railfan since he was around 5 years old, oh yes a very young age, an age when one really should avoid being involved with the gunzel community to any great extent. A few rather unsavoury people bringing that fact home.
After a few decades of train chasing, one decided to break with protocol and get married, thus leading to a severe cut in railfan activity.
Subsequent dealings with hate breeders, lunatics, mental defectives and self-appointed preservation overlords lead to an even greater decrease in my hobby participation.
However things have changed thanks to our small group of trusted mates, interest has returned, and now I have become a bit more involved yet again..
_
 Over the years I have tried my best to further both the hobby, as well as the friendships that it brings. I have done this by setting up proactive groups both here in Australia, as well as the Philippines. It is with huge honour that I am often considered the founding father of the railfan hobby in the Philippines (my second home).
_
I don't take the hobby too seriously and I am a friend to anyone who is good and genuine. But never forgive those who have used their hate to destroy my hobby or hurt the friends within it.

Let's Make The Hobby Great Again!
I aim to share the era that I considered mine, the 80s and 90s. I also like to help promote, and even raise funds for, the various heritage societies that keep the era alive

Anyone wish to guess the location of 4904?

Well knowing that you didn't seem to travel out to the west very often ... and seeing those tankers weren't often seen that close to any loco out where the 49s did operate for many years ... I'd have to say that this photo was taken at somewhere around Botany :)

Stuart,
Spot on mate, its actually coming up the AMPOL branch at East Botany.
Not much of this line left short of the rails in the Ocean and Baker street crossings. Rest has been built over or landscaped, while the entrance to the terminal seems to mostly be used to store trucks.
