Valley Heights Station

Approaching western end of Valley Heights station, taken from front of Up service travelling on the Down Main. Due to the overhead wiring being brought down between Doonside and Blacktown in the morning, 2 coal trains were held between Valley Heights and Springwood nose to tail. (a Lidsdale coal and a Charbon coal about 200 metres apart). As a result, all Up services had to travel via the Down line to eastern end of Valley Heights then cross back to the Up. (15-Jul-2005)
