Taree, 1987 (Graeme Skeet)



Lorraine Jones:
The semaphore signals are a significant part of railway history and worthy of their own topic where any remaining NSWGR semaphore signals can be identified together with their working status.



Chris Harrison:
Just a correction to this photo as it would not be 1987 as the old signalling was removed September 1985. I know as I salvaged a number of the signals and lamps at that time, as well as some of Taree South signal box levers. Looking at this, a couple of S trucks are present in the breakdown road which to my knowledge ceased being used to Taree by 1984.


Greg Lee:
As far as I know, all four wheel vehicles were banned from the 'Coast before 1984, not sure when, but I never saw any after I arrived in late 1982. Mind you that was North of Taree. There may have been an exception for the sleeper traffic out of the Boradze depot at Taree.
