I just completed a trip by Interurban from Newcastle to Berowra and
have a
few questions that some people may be able to answer:
- Do
trains still service the famous (from Garratt Days!) Newstan Colliery
at
Fassifern?
- Did the current road bridge east of the railway at Dora
Creek used to be
the railway bridge?
-Did the old bridge remnants west
of the current railway bridge over Cockle
Creek used to be the main line
or some colliery branch?
- When was the last time the branch heading to
the east from Awaba (to Wangi
Power Station?) was used?
- Is the
branch line running to the east just north of Wyee still used and
if so
what for?
In anticipation - Many thanks!
Newstand is still used.
the line from Cockle Creek went to West Wallsend and had stations at
Barnsley Holmesville can't remember the name of the other one. A branch went
to Rhonda Colliery.
