and

A Special Page on NSW Heritage 2020.

Have A Great Day Everybody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!




These two pictures were just sent to me by email.
I wonder if the Hornsby Police Know Mr Westleigh is still writing about me.
He obviously has a problem with what I do on the Internet, and, Then has to write about.
Maybe I should write about all the things he has written on the South Oz Rail Forum about me and my association with Heritage Railways.

You can read things about me all over the forum.
So the Messiah Of Heritage Railways is No Saint, he likes to write whatever he wants, when ever he wants.

I can arrange for a special Blog which indicates all the writing of our friend, Mr Westliegh from Buckley, Oops sorry that should have been Buckley from Westliegh in the Northern suburbs of Sydney.

The Boy Needs to get out of the Sand Pit and GROW UP.

Update on this Blog Page.

Good Morning,

Today is Friday the 22nd of May,2020.

Already this Page has received Free Publicity on the Internet, from others who follow NSW Railways. We thank them for their interest, it is much appreciated. That's less than 24 hours and there has been interest shown, thankyou so much.

Being a Railway Enthusiast and Railway Photographer for the last 19 years in NSW, I am finding that I still have lots to learn in the way of History of the New South Wales Railways.


The Merriwa Railway Station was opened for Operations in October 1917.
In recent years the buildings have been going through a Restoration Process.

In the early 2000's I put up 50 plus Photos on Rolfe Bozier's Website, NSWRAIL.NET, of various Railway Stations I had visited, and in 2020 I am still visiting Railway Stations, Learning about the History of the Railways. Since 2001, I have received a lot of help from other Railway Enthusiast's, so many thanks to them for their help.

I hope you enjoy my Creation.

About this Page.

Hi Again,

This Page is about me learning about the Government Railways Of New South Wales, which was started in 1855 and went to 1932.

There is a possibility the name of the Railways then changed to,

Dept of Transport NSW, but I need to check the time line.

This May have been later in the History of the Railways.

The Story.

The first Railway in New South Wales was started on the 10th of December 1831.

The First Government run Railway In NSW was started in 1855. In September, on the 26th, a railway line was opened from Sydney to Parramatta. There were 6 Stations, and, they were, Sydney, Newtown, Ashfield, Burwood, Homebush and Parramatta.
