Re: Old Castle Hill branch

[maikha@my-deja.com]

Update.....

today I was at Castle Hill.
Travelling along Windsor Rd. Passing Old Northern Rd. There is a
Railway St just after the the intersection between windsor and Old
Northern Rd. And before Railway  Street there is a fairly large
park "Yattenden Park" which is situated behind the houses.

What I'm trying to know is what is a Railway Street doing some 10's of
Km away from an actual railway and is it Yettenden that has the
Semaphone?


And yes I will try to re-follow the line and grad a few photos to
share...
