Railway Carriage Shed

As yesterday’s black and white photo was related to steam trains I thought I would carry on the same track and post this photo of the railway carriage shed on Newcastle foreshore. The shed was built in 1873 at the Newcastle terminus of the Great Northern Railway which ran from Newcastle to Maitland.

If anyone is interested here is a link to an article which appeared in the Maitland Mercury and Hunter River General Advertiser dated 13 Sept 1873.

Great shot Babs, I really like the leading lines. This structure sure has withstood the test of time.

[Rachel]

A lovely shot - I like all the struts holding it up in a big row. I notice there aren't any tracks there - do they use this for something else now?

[Elaine]

Wonderful structure Babs with fab lines and patterns. Works so well in black and white.
