Opened in 1878, Lithgow Yard signal box is the oldest signal box still in use in NSW. It has even survived the electrification of the line from Sydney to Lithgow.

Lithgow Coal Stage signal box oversees the eastern end of the yard complex at Lithgow. The coal stage itself has long since disappeared but the location lives on as a busy network hub.

Rydal railway station in October 1986. Twenty years later the structure still stands, although the line through here is now single track. In 2006, the station is a B&B.

Walllerawang East signal box controlled movements at the eastern end of the once extensive yard at Wallerawang, although by the 1980s, the status of the location had reduced by a considerable margin.

The impressive and imposing station at Wallerawang, junction between the Main Western line and the branch to Mudgee and onwards to Gwabegar. By 1986, it had been out of use for some time, but its sandstone station building is a stark reminder of earlier glories.

Over three years have elapsed since CTC signalling was commissioned on the Main North but the former frame at Parkville is still extant on 9 November 1987.

The remains of the former signal box at St Heliers, near Muswellbrook, on 9 November 1987, a few weeks after the box was destroyed by a runaway coal train. St Heliers was once the junction for a short branch to a nearby mine (far track in this photo).
