Re: [NSW] Liverpool Level Crossing Smash

["Skippy" <fowler9@skippy9.fsnet.co.uk>]

Hi guys,

I know about 1 year ago there was 3 tracks across there. The 2 main & 1 that
was a siding into the Kleenex factory. Wether it was used or not is another
question as there was so much rust on the rails they would've just
collapsed.

Speaking of just the south line. Glenfield, Ingleburn, Minto, Leumeah &
Campbelltown have all had theres removed & replaced by bridges. Campbelltown
is the youngest of them all & Glenfield was done when the East Hills
connection was opened.

I know thw shop ownewrs on Redfern Rd in Minto on the Mall side were furious
when that was closed. Now they only get customers when there is a major
netball comp on.

Speaking of the level crossing at Liverpool, theres no room to bridge there
& also it's only used as a connection between the 2 hospital sites. So at
least she didn't have far to go to get treatment
