Corridors of Time

Yesterday I posted a photo of a town crier welcoming the train we rode on to Branxton and back to Maitland at the Steamfest recently.

This is the inside of one of the carriages. It was built in the 1930s in Redfern, Sydney and is an S Class Street Side Corridor carriage.
You have caught some wonderful light coming in through the windows.

Really reminds me of all my childhood trips to London. I love the way you have the light reflected through the windows onto the corridor floor.

I could imagine a mystery crime scene here - as in 'The Orient Express'! Love it!

This is train of imagine!!! Awesome light!!!!

Lovely shot - my husband and I were just saying the other day how we used to love the old train with compartments! Fav

@maggiemae Know what you mean. David wandered off while we were on this train to take some photos and we couldn't find him for ages. We were next to the guards van and I did wonder if he had been bumped off and put in there, or maybe gone overboard so to speak. I said to the friends who were with us. Murder on the Branxton Express.

Looks like it was a sunny day - so much light coming in from outside. A beautiful corridor and woodwork. Love it.

Great shot. Nostalgia in heaps

It's lovely, the wood still gleams!
April 21st, 2017  
Love it ...
April 21st, 2017  
Wowe, that Is so beautiful.
April 21st, 2017  
I do love proper wooden carriages. Something blissfully Hercule Poirot about them, as you were thinking above too! The sliding doors are such fun and having a separate compartment to the corridor is just so lovely. I wish we still made trains this way!

They look so elegant.
April 21st, 2017  
So interesting. I like it.
April 21st, 2017

They don't make them like that any more!
April 21st, 2017  
Nice focus and light, I can just about remember cartridges that looked very similar to this!
April 21st, 2017  
Makes me feel like I'm traveling in the age of rail elegance.
April 21st, 2017  
This brought back memories: I used to travel to school and back on a train like this! (And we had carriage feasts at the end of every term, sitting up on the luggage racks!)
April 21st, 2017  
Great light and shadows, a nostalgic capture
April 21st, 2017  
Really like this! Full of history
April 21st, 2017  
Oh that lovely wood!
April 21st, 2017  
Lovely old wooden carriage and beautiful lighting.
April 21st, 2017  
Wonderful tones, textures and repetitive patterns Babs well spotted:)
April 21st, 2017  
I remember very well these wonderful carriages.
April 21st, 2017  
Lovely light and shadows Babs
April 21st, 2017  
Trains were so much more interesting when they had corridors, great shot.
April 22nd, 2017  
The woodwork looks gorgeous- such a classic design.
April 22nd, 2017  
Fantastic
April 22nd, 2017  
Lovely old woodwork. Them's were the days.
April 22nd, 2017  
what a beautiful interior - glad you eventually found David :)
April 22nd, 2017  
@annied He is worse than kids for wandering off. ha ha.
April 22nd, 2017  
What a beautiful corridor . They don't make them like that anymore.
April 22nd, 2017  
Lovely capture! This shot kind of brings back memories... it reminds me of the first class carriages on the old British Rail trains- they used to be separated off like that.. not that we ever sat in them. I don't remember them in wood though... it was metal in my day. Shame really, the wood looks lovely. Oh and I would be off wandering around like David to take shots too... :)
April 22nd, 2017  
@sangwann It was a beautiful day. Perfect weather for autumn and 28 degrees c.
April 22nd, 2017  
@dolphin So glad it brought back happy memories Molly.
April 22nd, 2017  
@golftragic No graffiti or scratched windows either.
April 22nd, 2017  
@stephanies It brought back memories of childhood for me. I wandered off too on this train to take photos, but David wandered further. I think he was looking for a free open window to take videos of the train.
April 22nd, 2017  
@onewing Yeah, you're right. Don't think we got the graffiti problem till spray paint in cans arrived.
April 23rd, 2017  
Awesome old train
April 23rd, 2017  
Such a wonderful shot and interesting information! Beautiful woodwork! Fun comments! :-)
April 23rd, 2017  
Love all the woodwork
April 23rd, 2017  
They really put some effort into making them lovely. Look at that woodwork.
