Re: [NSW] A couple of CityRail questions.

[David Bradshaw <davidbradshaw@my-deja.com>]

Thank you for all the replies replies!

Regarding qn 3, they are not the traversers. They are static brick
buildings, that sit over a deep trench. I think the trench contains a
rail line. Some have suggested the line is part of the Illawarra dive.

Unfortunately I don't think I have been able to see all the replies for
some reason. I say this because I have seen quotation from a certain
reply, though not the reply itself! Hopefully the message will come up.

Thanks again, David.
