A shame. I'll have to come back another time and get some shots, there are some nice buildings there, as well as it being a really good example of a large town outside of Sydney.
Yes, I wouldn't mind getting myself some good shots of that - also some shots of the imax, and of the station from outside of the platform.robotboy wrote:Next time im up there if i get to go in teh near future ill try and get some aswell. Illl try get the Carrington or whatever it is.

Yes, thankyou. I'm trying to get around Sydneys North Shore Line currently, as well as planning my various trips to interesting places around the state, accessible by Cityrail (further out than that, and the traffic peters off substantially, and I'd be sitting around doing nothing for hours on end, which is boring).michael blunck wrote:Interesting pictures, Rai. And the quality has increased. I see you´re using a Canon Ixus now instead of your handy cam.

.Hornsby Station, 11/4/07Raichase at Fotopic wrote:I wandered up to Hornsby Station this afternoon after work. Armed with my new camera, and some freight train timetables, as well as a vauge knowledge that the XPT to Brisbane was due, I was ready. I was eager to learn, both how to use my camera at night, and how freight trains worked through Hornsby.
Firstly, it was cold. Colder than I originally thought.
Secondly, I need more practice using my camera at night. No, really. These night shots are the BETTER night photos I got.
Thirdly, there is some interesting freight on the rails. In my limited experiences previously, I thought there were only container trains and coalies these days. How wrong I was.
The first freight train through was a LVRF container train, hauled by one of the new silver Danish-built atrocities, and a practically unrecognizable 44 class (shame on you LVRF). It caught me by surprise, as I thought the lights were another electric train coming through (it was late as it was), and I had my earphones in, so missed the loud roar.
The second freighter was an up coalie headed by three 82 class, and an 81 class. It also took me by surprise, 'cause the damned thing was on time... I was just returning to the platform from a bathroom break...
The third freighter through was a mixed goods, headed by three pacnat NR's. More blurry shots, even though this one was moving quite slowly through the station. Interesting consist.
The fourth freighter, 4 or so hours after I arrived was the best one. It was 8136 heading a really short train, made up of a couple of grain hoppers, some flat cars and a cement tanker. Really cool to watch
Because a lot of the photos here are sub-par, as I start to use up my space here on fotopic, the blurry ones WILL be removed, and this description edited accordingly.
