Try Hanbury Junction. Is there another rail-over-rail bridge
to one of the Hunter coal loaders (Drayton?) or I am thinking of a
road overbridge?
An historic one was on South Maitland Railway, and carried
the Kalingo/ Maitland main line over the existing line to Pelton.
Last time I was there, the bridge still existed.
Another former example, now removed, was on the dead end siding at Dombarton.
The bridge span from this location was removed, and re-used to replace
an unsafe one on the line to Lavender Bay, near Waverton Station.
