Photo of the day: The Train Register book at Griffith Signal Box. The Signal box has since become unstaffed, relying on train crews to work their movements around the yard
Hi all
Last weekend, was on another LVR charter going to Griffith, encompassing travel on both branchlines, from Junee - Narrandera - Yanco - Griffith, and the following day travelling from Griffith - Temora - Stockinbingal - Cootamundra, and then back on the Main South. Was a good weekend indeed, and the following are my photos.

Good stuff there Maikha. Is the Emu farm still there next to the line at Old Junee? Made for an amusing diversion while safeworking was being done back when I did the countrylink trip.

I do love me a good Tin Hare: they remind me of a simplier and more laid back time.
I didn't come here looking for trouble, I just came to do the RP shuffle... break it down...

Yanco, what have they done there?
What a example of the brutality of rationalization.
Lets pause for a moment and remember the old Yanco, like so many other vanished stations in Australia........

Does Leeton still have a station building, or has that gone too?

Another point as well, in the old days, when we had a real and complete railway, it was very easy to take good pictures, as everything was there, and in place, and it formed a natural photo as such.
Now, photographers are forced to work with what little is left, under all sorts of OH and S restrictions, and thusly are becoming more innovative in their skills with a camera.
Maikha's photos are very good, especially in light of how little there remains to work with out there in a photographic, and infrastructure, sense..
