I have added some nice new photos of my prints to my shop for 'Coppiplatz Bahnhof'! I have been meaning to get around to taking some photos to showcase the prints for a while now but life has just been too busy lately with moving and all the drama.

So, here they are! This is Museum Quality Archival Matte paper ko-fi.com/s/a8de02ec5b

Eine historische Dampflokomotive der Baureihe 023 durchfährt eine malerische Tunnelkette im Pegnitztal. Die Region in der Fränkischen Schweiz ist bekannt für ihre reizvolle Landschaft und die anspruchsvolle Eisenbahnstrecke, die sich entlang des Flusses windet.
An einigen Stellen, wie in der Nähe von Velden oder Rupprechtstegen, ergeben sich für Fotografen und Eisenbahnfreunde beeindruckende Blicke durch mehrere Tunnelportale gleichzeitig.

Today's historic photo of the day: Looking across to the southbound platform at the #railway station at Burradoo, NSW, November 9 1985.

Burradoo is a small station in the NSW Southern Highlands just south of Bowral, 139km from Sydney on the NSW main South line. Back in 1985, just a few Goulburn or Moss Vale line trains called each day, and the station was very rudimentary, with original large nameboards but very few facilities - not even any shelter or seats.

Today's historic photo of the day: The #railway station at Healesville, Victoria, December 21 1986.

Healesville is 64km east of Melbourne at the terminus of a Victorian Railways broad gauge branch line from Lilydale. The line from Lilydale had been closed and passenger and freight services withdrawn six years beforehand in 1980. When this photo was taken, the station was disused and looked sad and neglected.

Blayney is in Central West NSW, 290km from Sydney on the NSW Main West line. The station is today served by the daily Sydney to Dubbo Central West XPT and by the weekly Broken Hill Outback XPLorer.

Barnawartha is in North-Eastern Victoria about 280km from Melbourne on the main Melbourne to Albury railway. The station opened in 1873 and served passengers until the early/mid '80s when the last passenger trains called. Although nameboards, bins and bench seats were still in place in early 1988, the platform loop track had been lifted just over four months beforehand

Today's historic photo of the day: A view of the #railway station at Buangor, Vic, January 24 1987.

Buangor is 188km west of Melbourne on the broad gauge line from Melbourne to Ararat. At that time, this was the main Melbourne-Adelaide railway. Whilst passenger trains had ceased calling at Buangor some years beforehand, passenger and goods trains still then ran express through here and the station was still manned to control the mechanically interlocked crossing loop.

It was a major depot and junction station for two branch lines, one east to Pinnaroo, and the other to Karoonda where it further branched into lines to Peebinga, Waikerie and Barmera/Loxton/Yinkanie.

Civic station, in central Newcastle, 167km from Sydney, was the penultimate station on the 4km-long Broadmeadow to Newcastle line. In 1985, the #railway outlook in Newcastle was optimistic with the line from Sydney having been electrified just the year beforehand and service frequencies boosted.

Those trains were replaced in 1981 by buses which continue to serve Merrigum today although they now connect with Shepparton-Melbourne trains at Murchison East.

There were once thousands of little stopping places like this right across Queensland's rail network.
