Hunter Valley in 1984
10th August 1984 to 14th August 1984

Some scenes of trains and stations in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales (Australia) taken in 1984. The Hunter Valley is the source of significant coal traffic, but the lines also see passenger trains. Much of the infrastructure has changed over the years - some of the buildings in these photos no longer exist.

The signal box at Civic, the smallest signal box on the system. Although it is no longer in use, the building stills stands.

 In 2006, East Maitland station still stands and not much has changed since 1984, apart from the trains that rumble by.

 The station at Lochinvar is still open, although this structure has been demolished and replaced by a much simpler version. The section of the building nearest the camera was the signal box - note the 'gap' in the platform face for the wires and point rodding.

 The derelict and vandalised building on the Down platform at Tarro in August 1984 no longer stands. Today's passengers must make do with a 'bus shelter' style of building. Note the gap in the platform face that indicates the relative location of the former signal box.
