    ARHSnsw Railway Luncheon Club. Notes for the tour to Murrurundi 18th and 19th November 2015. These notes describe some of the railway infrastructure that will be seen during the tour. They have been arranged in the order in which they will be inspected. There will also be some additional notes and photographs handed out to participants during the tour. 1 MUSWELLBROOK RAILWAY STATION BEFORE THE STATION OPENING The Sydney Morning Herald, 22nd December, 1866, p. 8 contained the following report on progress of this construction of the line towards Muswellbrook. The Herald article contains a member number of questions asked in Parliament about progress on the Great Northern Railway relating to Muswellbrook. It refers to the proposed completion of the line to Muswellbrook in February, 1868, but this time it was not met and the opening to Muswellbrook did not take place until 19th May, 1869. The report also mentions that plans for the Muswellbrook station building had not been prepared at that time but that it was proposed that tenders would be called by June, 1867. This also was a little optimistic. Tenders for the construction of the building were not called until early 1868. “With regard to the Northern extension, our readers are already aware that the bridge over the Hunter, at Singleton, is finished, and was formally named by his Excellency the Governor two months ago. The earthwork for the road and railway approaches to the bridge on the south side at the river will be finished by the end of the present month, and the approaches, including the timberwork of the bridge over the gully about midway between the Singleton Station and the river, will be entirely completed next month, if the timber for the bridge can be obtained.
