Re: Melbourne's Citylink Bridge is fantastic for phographing trains!

["John Wayman" <trecker@bigpond.com>]

I wasn't able to get many shots, as I didn't have much film and wasn't
expecting access to this section. Also only Sunday frequencies on tram and
train lines. I was ordered off the bridge by police after reaching the
northern end where it meets the Tullamarine Freeway at Jeff's Erection.

The City Link consists of two bridges side by side. I walked north along the
eastern one, and was prevented from returning down the western one by the
police.

I will post some pictures to a website shortly,

Cheers
