Re: Off topic - Tempe Railway Station - any experts?

["Chris Downs" <cvdowns@ozemail.com.au>]

My trusty "New South Wales Government Railways - Curve and Gradient
Diagrams" book gives rail level at Wynyard lower level platforms (5 & 6) as
12 feet above mean sea level.

As for tracks below sea level on the Eastern Suburbs Railway (ESR), the
rails are 12.8m below sea level where the line passes beneath Hay Street
between Central and Town Hall.  The ESR platforms at Central (24 & 25) have
a rail level of 0.9m above sea level (courtesy I. A. Brady's/ARHS's book
"Eastern Suburbs Railway").
