To all

Thanks to all those who replied. I sure have alot of information on
them now, and I'm also glad I haven't coped any insults yet as I
thought that would happen .
(what? I'm only a 13yr as a Rockie into rails!)

Anyway I've been noted on an old line from Richomnd to Kurrajong.
Any evidence still exists?

Thanks

P.S. To David J. (Trainman). Yeah I remember now! I like the picture! I
reckon we should all capture a shot of todays railways as souvenirs as
the future rolls in.

P.P.S. Who ever said to take the old network map at Martin Place. He's
the plan, next time the Station is closed, we'll sneak into the station
and unscrew the map off the wall and load it into the ute! Haha, let
Cityrail catch us now!!!

P.P.P.S. Was there a line sticking out of the Bankstown line at
Centerbury?

P.P.P.P.S. Grant is still alive at Canterbury or Campsie station last
time I was there 28th September.

P.P.P.P.P.S. ok I'll shut up now.
