I was so excited to get this one! After a visit to Homebush Bay, I arrived at Rhodes railway station to find a goods train parked at the platform, waiting for a signal to go into the city. omg, omg, omg!!!! I had my "can take a picture" spare mobile phone in my bag and I frantically dug around for it only to have ANOTHER goods train arrive going in the other direction! The first one headed off but the second one was nice and long so it was still travelling past me as I got the phone going and proceeded to look through the back of the phone to try to get a photo.

Everything looked black but it turns out that's the camera lens at the back and you look at the front of the phone! So I have a few photos of not much at all but luckily I also have 5 photos of bits of the train! The gps didn't make it into the photo as I was having quite enough trouble working one bit of technology at a time!

Eventually the train finished going by and the gps was on and ready to go so I marked a waypoint and sat down to wait for my train. You won't believe this but yet ANOTHER goods train started to go through just as my train arrived and I thought I might get another photo that had the gps in it but there wasn't time. I did manage to leave my umbrella behind on the platform seat but luckily I kept all the gadgets with me so I still had all the required proof to log this cache.
How rare is that eh??? 3 goods trains within 10 minutes at a suburban station! Or maybe every Tuesday at 12:50pm these trains go by - I wonder?
