southern cross railway TRACKS

This was taken back in March in Melbourne at the Pbase meet with Sheila & John Waine & their spouses & mine.
John I recall, was rather impressed that a train to anywhere left from this point.
The one in front ( the red ) travels to the city of my birth in Central Victoria.
Sadly this train was involved in a serious crash with a B Double Interstate truck two weeks ago
& unfortunately many people lost their lives.

No time to take any shots today so this is as good as it gets. Others taking part in Thursday Challenge can be found here http://forum.pbase.com/viewtopic.php?t=31552

Wonderful photo, being I love trains. Sadly, people still think they can beat trains at crossings. The truth is, you lose.
