The Proposal includes the following scope of works: • Hornsby Junction Remodelling: installation, removal and reconditioning of track work, overhead wiring and signalling infrastructure between Waitara and Asquith. The Proposal would also include a new train driver’s walkway and a train ‘turnback’ facility (track work that allows trains to pass from one track on a diverging path) located about 30 metres south of Bridge Road, Hornsby. • Commuter car park: new multi-storey car park structure that provides approximately 230 additional parking spaces. The Proposal would also include a new vehicular entry and exit from the George Street/Burdett Street intersection (via reconfigured traffic signals) and the relocation of the high voltage overhead power lines (owned by Sydney Trains) from the site of the existing commuter car park. Overview of findings This HIA concludes that the construction of the commuter car park would have a moderate visual impact on two items of local heritage significance: • The Hornsby Railway Station group and Barracks, listed on the Railcorp (now Sydney Trains) section 170 register: The proposed carpark is likely to result in a moderate visual impact to the heritage railway station through the introduction of a structure currently occupied by ground-level carparking.

  • RAHS/State Records NSW – Railway Records
    Christine Yeats [email protected] Scene from Murder She Said - based on the novel 4.50 from Paddington by Agatha Christie. With the help of maps and train timetables Miss Marple identifies the exact spot where the body was thrown from the moving train. Setting the scene: steam to electric The line from Sydney to Parramatta was officially opened on 26 September 1855 with Locomotive No. 3 hauling the official train. (Locomotive No. 1 was out of service that day.) The journey of 14 miles took 50 minutes. By Federation in 1901, all States except Western Australia were ‘linked’ by rail. Three different gauges had been used. NSW: European standard gauge of 4ft. 8½ins.(1435 mm). Vic. & parts of SA: broad Irish gauge 5ft. 3ins. (1600 mm) Tas, QLD, WA & parts of SA: narrow gauge 3 ft. 6 ins. (1067 mm). Steam locomotion was used until the 1950s when diesel-electric locomotives began to take over. Steam locomotives were completely withdrawn in the 1970s. Diesel locomotives were considered faster and cleaner than the old steam engines, eliminated the heavy rocking motion of steam trains, causing less wear-and-tear on rail tracks and providing a smoother ride for passengers. The Main North Line The Main North Line (also known as the Great Northern Railway) was originally the main line between Sydney and Brisbane, running through the Central Coast, Hunter and New England regions then connecting with Queensland Railway's line to Brisbane at a break-of-gauge at Wallangarra in 1888. The first section was built from the port of Newcastle to Victoria Street, Maitland in 1857 and extended to Singleton in 1863, Muswellbrook and Murrurundi in 1872, Werris Creek and west Tamworth in 1878, Armidale in 1883 and Wallangarra, Queensland in 1888.
