1970's & 80's

I first began taking railway photos in 1975 whilst in high school. The photos shown here are a random selection in no particular order. I took slides back in those days as it was the most affordable for me. These have been scanned and in some cases been enhanced. These photos cover a wide range of railway subjects including signalling & safeworking to steam tours, mostly in NSW where I lived. I hope they will be of interest to you. If you have any signal box photos you may like to share you can email them to me at oztrains62@yahoo.com
