The cover and page 105 contain photos of the Mont Albert railway crossing taken by the ABV2 cameraman, technicians and script assistant who were making a TV documentary about the boom gates installed at the crossing. The Mont Albert railway crossing was removed in early 2023 by the Level Crossing Removal Authority (LXRA). The Surrey Hills railway crossing was removed at the same time. Keith Glover of television Channel 2 is at the right of the photo and plays the father in the documentary. His son is played by David Edwards. A soft cover newsletter largely printed in black and white with jade highlights. Pages are numbered 98-111. Multiple black & white photos.
