Taree south box and associated signalling viewed oh so long ago, 20 January 1985.  At the time I took this image, I recall that there was a strike in place which gave me opportunity to walk around the yard and photograph.  Old style semaphores are still in place, but the new CTC signalling is making a presence (just visible between the breakdown crane and South box).  A considerable number of bogies also seem present in the breakdown road.  The sand tower for Taree loco depot can be seen beyond the breakdown crane.

Taree, late 1990. This was a loading platform that was never used after the late 70's.  From the late 70's to around 1983, the Up No. 2 shunting neck ended up storing "Rotton Row", which ended up consisting of one refrigerated van, two S trucks, one louvred van, two former work vans which was a former dogbox type, and a MHG brake van still in charcoal colour.  After the scrapping of rotton row wagons, the shunting neck was again used until the end of the 80's.

A busy time at Taree on 3-8-1994.  44238 prepares to depart the yard to continue its journey North, while the rear of a "long" Up goods stands in the Loop. The North end Dock road is still in use at this time. (Graeme Kirkby)

The Brisbane tour, in January, 1973.
3813 moves away to be serviced, at Taree (I think), as two 44 class (and you have to include "class" with the 44s) wait for the right of way before heading out on a goods. (Graeme Belbin)
