I think they're for noise monitoring actually?They appear to be grease pots. Just a flash looking grease pot.
They appear to be grease pots. Just a flash looking grease pot.There is a sign nearby suggesting that there is track monitoring equipment in the area, and they appear to be small microphones on top of sticks? Unless we're talking about different things? I know the local residents are quite unhappy about flange squeal from freighters.

I know the local residents are quite unhappy about flange squeal from freighters.There is only 2 microphones that I can see, about 150m city side of Copeland Rd bridge. every other solar box I have seen is a grease pot.

They are in fact a "TORFMA" (Top Of Rail Friction Modifier Applicator) and as the name suggests it does that.Fancy name, I just assumed fancy grease pot on account of all the grease the things leave behind...
Not a curve greaser/grease pot. It is to stop wheel squeal, corrugation and assist angle of attack problems. It doesn't help if "Johnny come lately" doesn't service/maintain his/her/its equipment to standard.
Any updates especially on the North Strathfield underpass ?According to the Sydney Trains Trackwork Calender, Newcastle trains will operate via the North Shore Line, and buses will replace Northern Line trains between Strathfield and Epping between Christmas and New Years. Might I suggest that they'll get a large chunk of work done then? Not sure how it will affect the normal north/south freight traffic, but I'd hazard that it would also be suspended, given that it's very quiet then generally...

Presumably Gosford Loops will be the first NSW NSFC project delivered.
