Petrie - Caboolture (Re)Opening
Hi all
Petrie to Caboolture opened today, completing the suburban network (plus a few more lines).
Heading up the Dakabin Bank, the old, pre electrification alignment can be seen in a few places crossing the current line.
Narangba station
Departing Burpengary, the overhead for the removed facing and trailing crossovers can still be seen.
Morayfield Rd, wisely built with quadruplication in mind.
Departing Morayfield, the huge shopping centre can be seen on the down side of the line.
Immediately after crossing the Caboolture River, we negotiate the crossovers to platform 3. The old alignment can just be made out in the background.
Welcome to Caboolture. The dignitaries have already headed over to the bakery across the road...
Waiting for the return trip.
Meanwhile, an IMU heads north (or at least to Pumicestone Rd LC...)
I can't wait to get a Tilt up to those speeds...
So that's it, next is a bit more NZ to build, and then I continue the relentless push north.
