Railway Crossings Locationless, Locationless, Locationless
By rogerw3 on 10-Jun-10. Waypoint GA2233

Time to tidy up my caches, this one has served its purpose.

TRAIN LINE: Hurstbridge Line (Melbourne, VIC)
ROAD: Lower Plenty Rd, Rosanna

I use this busy railway crossing a few times each week and today I stopped to take some photos to fulfill the requirements of this locationless cache.

The railway crossing is in the process of being removed as part of the Level Crossing Removal Project by the Victorian Government. At present there is no railway station here (Rosanna). A new elevated station will be built when the railway tracks are relocated above the road.

Although there is a Railway Crossing not that far from home near the local SES, I decided to log one from when I was out caching with my sister teamashy last November out from Geelong in Victoria. We weren't far from Bacchus Marsh and doing a cache right near the Railway Crossing called Ghosts of Stations Past - Rowsley GC45PMD. This crossing is on Rowsley Station Road. Right next to the crossing there was an old cattle yard and the birds were using an old trough for a drink.

hello rogerw3 thanks for the cache.

I was on my way back home from a bit of caching on the east coast of Tasmania and came back via Campbell Town,
After a couple of DNF I spotted this railway crossing luckily there wasn’t any traffic so I stopped and got a photo.
The crossing is where Franklin Street crosses over the South Line.
The South Line, also known as the Main Line and sometimes the North/South Line or the North–South Line, is a freight rail corridor connecting Hobart to the northern ports of Tasmania. The Railway Line was built by the Tasmanian Main Line Company.

Hello rogerw3 thanks for the cache.

This railway crossing crosses over the Fingal Line near the old convict cells and another cache.
The Fingal Line finishes in in about 1.5km at the Fingal Coalery.
On arrival at Fingal one sees the old convict cells with their unusual pyramidal design, one of the few original reminders of the convict era and can still be seen on the western outskirts of the town. As well as road construction and land development, convicts provided a cheap labour force and much architectural artistry for many of the district’s substantial homesteads.
Im glad I never had to spend any time in the cells as there isn't much room in them.

Hello rogerw3 thanks for the cache.

This railway crossing is where Brown Street crosses over the Fingal Line.
The Fingal Line finishes in in about 1km at the Fingal Coalery.
I have crossed it many times it is on the way to one of the best rallying forests in Tasmania.
There was once a road safety rally that started 50m before the crossing and competitors lost points for not stopping at the crossing.
It wasn't long ago I was nearly ran into when I stopped at the crossing and the car behind me wasn't going to luckily they realised before they hit me.

Moss Vale - Unanderra line

Gee, you have to keep an eye on Tuena, who seems to have all of Australia covered for finds of some description. What a sweetheart leaving this one for me .
I completely forgot all about this locationless find until some circumstances arose to awaken a sleeping memory. I was travelling to Bowral via Robertson knew there was a freighty coming. Yipee another locationless, and so the lights began flashing and the boom gates dropped. . In all the years I have been through this intersection this situation has not occurred. Thanks for the locationless Rogerw3.

SHEEPWASH ROAD

Moss Vale - Unanderra freight line.

I completely forgot all about this locationless find until some circumstances arose to awaken a sleeping memory. I was travelling to Bowral via Robertson and pulled over near the railway crossing. I was most surprised to see the lights begin flashing . In all the years I have been through this intersection this situation has not occurred. Ok, I admit I am a big kid and I got quite excited seeing flashing lights and a freight train coming through . Would you believe it's now on my bucket list , well only as of a couple of days ago. I think i'll start writing a book and add all this zany stuff to it. Happy is he who finds enjoyment in the littlest of things. Ok, so I know that sounds very very bizarre to most people, but, it's true, if the littlest things, no matter how stupid or trivial don't bring some kind of a smile or joy to you then you obviously take life to serious and blah blah blah. My lil Sprout Two was with me, he loves trains, so this made it even more exciting than it would have been. Thanks for the locationless Rogerw3.

Railway Crossing at Bell Station
Bell, NSW

Was pleased to see the train going by, with the pedestrian crossing gates closed and the warning lights flashing, while I was picking up a fellow geocacher here (who just happens to be the CO of this Locationless).

Other photos show the nearby station and area around the station, with a glimpse of the tracks.

Fun to see a kind of 'miniature crossing' for pedestrians only.

Not the busiest station in NSW . . .

There are lots of railway crossings in Melbourne hopefully I picked one that hasn't been logged. This one is in Moonee Ponds on Park Street near Railway Crescent. I was in the car and we were stopped by a train going through the crossing and could not get photos of the track left or right. Hope this is okay.

Today I took a photo of the local rail crossing near my work.

It is Hoppers Crossing and the rd is Old Geelong Rd.

Busy crossing that is one due to be removed soon.

Well maybe not soon but one day.

I came across this railway while searching for a cache in a beautiful park in White Rock, Cairns. I doubt this railway is used anymore. The gauge looks smaller than the main line, which runs along the other side of the Bruce Highway, which had plenty of trains running along it. There were plenty of crossings in Cairns, but I chose this one for this purpose.

Marulan Railway Station - Marulan, NSW

A Historical Walk plaque nearby states the station was officially opened by Sir Henry Parkes on 6 August 1868. Three trains travelled to Marulan, one carrying Sir Henry & his entourage the other two official guests. Whilst the opening ceremony took place the guests in the other trains partook of the prepared luncheon to the point no food was left for the politicians.

This crossing is for pedestrians only. It crosses dual lines which carry passenger services on the Southern Highlands Line & freight on the Main South Line.

Guaranteed unique rail crossing. It was made by a private land owner to act as a gate for his property. The rail only goes about 10ft on either side. The owner was a rail engineer and built this after his retirement.

It can be found at the posted co-ordinates in Clayton North Carolina USA

Mulgrave Crossing (Groves Avenue)
Mulgrave, NSW

Visited this crossing with the CO himself, and took my photos from the GeoBuru2.

No trains passed at this point, but we saw some later in the day, as we went geocaching north and south along the rail line for several hours.

There's always something fun about being around railway tracks and trains!

This crossing is located a the entrance to a sawmill I regularly go to.

I was on my way to install some stairs when I got stopped at this crossing.

This railway crossing at Tullochgorum is a bit of a puzzle. Is this an old railway station here? Or is it just a little house and a waiting room conveniently placed along the railway line to serve the nearby property?

I was having my usual success with micros when the bells on the railway crossing across the road started clanging. This crossing leads to the Kiama dump which has been thoughtfully located on the banks of the Minnamurra River. Something was brewing in the warmer weather & a sickly smell saw me move on so only the one photo.

Beaten to the punch.

These photos are of the railway crossing in Short Street at Leith in north west Tasmania. This line doesn't get a lot of use, only freight trains, no passenger trains on this line anymore.

When I was a kid the Tasman Limited used to go from Smithton to Hobart and in school holidays I would get to go nearly the full length of the line to stay with cousins in Hobart. Loved it.

This railway crossing is one of the many between Winton And Longreach

What not to do! As I was walking to the shops the other night I saw these two idiots INSIDE the boom gates at the Heatherton Road rail crossing in Noble Park, Melbourne. The car in front has it's reversing lights on - they were trying to reverse and the van behind was madly honking the horn to stop them!

WanderingAus wandered by heading home from the Waroona Visitors Centre after giving some advice on Geocaching to the Visitors Centre Manager and her colleague from the Harvey centre. They are enthusiastic about attracting people to the district through geocaching, and plan to buy several gpsrs to lend out for free. They also plan to place a number of geocaches to supplement those already there, and probably will also hold an event sometime in the future.

WanderingAus wandered by on the way to placing my new cache GC3BJ14 WanAus 211 - LKA St Mary-In-The-Valley Kelmscott. I was returning to the car park after taking a photo of the railway crossing on the busway entrance to the station on the Perth-Armadale Railway, when a Perth-bound train approached the station, which of course trigger the lights and boom gate, as well as the lights and gate on the pedestrian railway crossing. I wouldn't have bothered with this one if the lights weren't flashing, but I couldn't resist the closed gate and lights.



The second photo shows the boom gate on the busway entrance to the station, which of course was also triggered by the Perth-bound train.

WanderingAus wandered by on the way to placing my new cache GC3BJ14 WanAus 211 - LKA St Mary-In-The-Valley Kelmscott. I'd been meaning to take photos of the two railway crossings at Kelmscott station, had managed the Exit one, and this time there were heaps of parking spaces in the car park near the other one, probably because a lot of commuters had decided to take a four-day long weekend. Gotta love the good old Aussie work ethic.

This railway crossing is on the busway entrance to the station on the Perth-Armadale Railway, the bus stop is on the platform between the up and down lines - how cool is that? Buses enter from the Perth end of the platform and leave from the Armadale end of the platform.



The second photo shows an Armadale-bound train approaching the station, which of course didn't trigger the lights or boom gate because it didn't cross the roadway. The third photo shows the boom gate down, as a Perth-bound train approached the station from over my right shoulder.

WanderingAus wandered by, taking a slightly roundabout way to get home from Bruce Rock after the annual Back To The Bush Veterans Reunion, and doing some cache maintenance and cache hunting on the way.

After hunting down GC3409R Monolithic by Grammie & Grumpy, which was the only cache within 60 CroKs of Bruce Rock that I hadn't found, I made my way to my cache GC20FH5 WanAus 155 - LKA Kellerberrin to do a bit of maintenance on it.

Back on the road again I made my way to GC20GD5 WanAus 143 - Tammin Trails and then GC20VC8 WanAus 157 - LKA Tammin, and confirmed both caches were still in good order. From there I headed for GC20FF5 WanAus 151 - LKA Cunderdin, replaced the missing cache, and headed for GC20FER WanAus 150 - LKA Meckering. About 200 CroMs from the cemetery I crossed this Railway Crossing where Richardson Street crosses the Trans Australian Railway/Northam-Merredin Railway ("the Trans line").

After hunting down GC3409R Monolithic by Grammie & Grumpy, which was the only cache within 60 CroKs of Bruce Rock that I hadn't found, I made my way to my cache GC20FH5 WanAus 155 - LKA Kellerberrin to do a bit of maintenance on it.

Back on the road towards GC20GD5 WanAus 143 - Tammin Trails and GC20VC8 WanAus 157 - LKA Tammin, as I drove south along Leslie Road I crossed this Railway Crossing where Leslie Road crosses the Trans Australian Railway/Northam-Merredin Railway ("the Trans line") about 3 CroKs southeast of the point where the Kellerberrin-Bungulla Railway re-joins the Trans line beside the Great Eastern Highway.

Back on the road towards GC20GD5 WanAus 143 - Tammin Trails and GC20VC8 WanAus 157 - LKA Tammin I crossed this Railway Crossing where the West Crossing Road crosses the Trans Australian Railway/Northam-Merredin Railway ("the Trans line") 300 CroMs west of the Kellerberrin Railway Station and 700 CroMs west of East Crossing Road. The Trans Australian Railway is the name give to the track taken by the Indian Pacific on it's way from Perth to Sydney.

I see that Kellerberrin place namers are more imaginative than those in towns where the streets are named First, Second, Third etc. Earlier on my way to GC20FH5 WanAus 155 - LKA Kellerberrin I crossed at the East Crossing Road crossing, but there wasn't a convenient spot for me to pull over so I decided to leave it for another cacher, or perhaps me on my next maintenance run same time next year.
