| Fassifern | 2006 | Looking at the southern end to show the recent extensions to both platforms to accommodate 8 car Intercity electric trains. |
| Fassifern | 2006 | The former branch to Toronto is still largely intact despite the platform being filled in. The curved platform and shelter was where terminating 2 or 3 car electric sets would meet with the 2 car diesel shuttle that operated the Toronto - Fassifern service. The rails for the line to Toronto and the storage siding are still in place in the long grass behind the white fence. The "V" shaped Fassifern platforn servicing the Up Line is to the right of the camera. The concrete path for pedestrians and bicycles follows the railway right-of-way to Toronto. |
| Newstan West Junction | 2006 | The southern leg of the triangle that connects Newstan Colliery (behind camera) to the main line immediately north of Fassifern Station, which is obscured by the trees behind the boom gate. |
| Newstan West Junction | 2006 | The view looking west into the Newstan Colliery site. The main line at Fassifern is approx. 200 metres behind the camera. The level crossing with boom gates in the foreground is a public road, and the adjacent crossing (lights but no booms) is on an private internal road for coal trucks. In the distance the track on the right is the northern leg of the triangle junction with the main line. |
| Newstan West Junction | 2006 | The view looking towards Newstan Colliery. This view shows the southern leg on the left, and the northern leg of the junction with main northern line just north of Fassifern Station (approx 150 metres behind the camera).

| Tamworth | 2008 | The dock at the Sydney end of Tamworth's platform. |
| Tamworth | 2008 | Looking in the Down direction from the end of the platform. The rationalised yard sees a single track (formerly the Platform Road) at the station . Beyond the Brisbane Street level crossing is the main line on the left. The track (and on the same alignment as the Platform Road) on the right was formerly used for freight at the factory's loading dock. |
| Tamworth | 2008 | The view from the Armidale end of the platform, showing the Platform Road now as the main line and the former main line removed. |
| Tamworth | 2008 | Looking in the Up direction. The signal box has had extra glazing installed to convert it to a mini-museum containing the lever frame, and other railway items such as the track diagram, staff holder, old desk etc. |
| Tamworth | 2008 | The dis-used signal box has been modified to publically display the lever frame , and has other small railway items on display within. |
| Tamworth | 2008 | A photo through the glass of the former signal-box on the platform, showing the diagram of the former track arrangement. There is now a single track at the station. The main line then follows its former path in the left of the diagram , although the siding at the loading dock of a factory dis-used due to a switch to road transport. |
| Tamworth | 2008 | The footbridge at the Sydney end of the station provides a connection between two streets. The station is a single platform with street-level access. Note the metal plate used for the treads and risers. |
| Tamworth | 2008 | The view from the footbridge looking in the Up direction (towards West Tamworth). The points that serve the dock seem to be available for use . The slight kink in the mainline gives a clue that the track that was the mainline has been slewed to connect with former Platform Road. The mainline in the station precinct has been removed to leave the single track. |
| Tamworth | 2008 | Looking in the Down direction, the rationalised yard is evident. The mainline was previously laid to the left, and the current track was the Platform Road. |
| Tamworth | 2008 | The dock platform and track as viewed from the footbridge. Although it appears to be out-of-use, the associated points, catch point and ground lever frame seem to be intact (behind the photographer). |
| Tamworth | 2008 | It appears that the track serving the dock platform is still connected. Looking in the direction of West Tamworth and Sydney. |
| Tamworth | 2008 | A view (looking in the direction of Armidale) of the attractive and well-kept station and the all-steel footbridge linking two streets, not directly accessing the platform. |
| Tamworth | 2008 | Looking in the direction of Armidale, this view shows a very attractive and well-maintained station. |
| Warabrook | 2007 | The view looking west towards Sandgate. A view of the island platform from the footbridge that services it.

This station was constructed (and squeezed in by slewing the lines) after many years of campaigning by the University of Newcastle for a commuter station for staff and students. |

| Warabrook | 2007 | The view looking east from Warabrook Station footbridge. |
| Waratah | 2006 | Waratah Station looking east towards Hamilton. The modern brick building on the Down platform (right hand side of photo) replaced the timber structure that was fomerly located on the footbridge from where this photo was taken. Examples of older buildings remain on the Up platform. The two tracks on the left are the Coal Roads heading to and from Port Waratah. |
| Waratah | 2006 | The view looking west of the Down and Up Main lies and the Down and Up Coal lines. In the distance to the right of the Up Coal line is the points leading to the siding to the industrial building formerly known as Commonwealth Steel.

A goods yards with platform and usual structures formerly occupied the area to the left of the photo. |
| Waratah | 2006 | Looking east, this view of the landing on the footbridge shows the part of the footprint of the former wooden station building that was part of the structure. |
