Life and Times of our Local Railway


Here's an interesting excerpt from an online encyclopaedia entry. It talks about the northern CityRail line which is the only line that passes through our lovely area.

"The Northern Line is part of the metropolitan rail network in Sydney known as CityRail, running between North Sydney and Hornsby via Strathfield and Central. It is part of the Main Northern Line, and serves suburbs in the Inner West, Lower North Shore, and Hills District areas, crossing the Parramatta River between Rhodes and Meadowbank. It is denoted as red on CityRail network maps and other publicity."



The picture shown is of the old railway bridge that crosses the Parramatta River, which is now a walking and cycling track.
