Seeing there is no "Real Thing - Australia" forum, I suppose I'll post some pics and info in this one!
Albury Station (New South Wales) in the light of dawn. Note the length of the platform. This was necessary, as in the days of old (well up to 1962), it was "everybody off", and cross the platform and "all aboard". Albury was the change of guage point between Victoria (broad guage) and New South Wales (standard guage).
N460 heads the V/Line broad guage Albury/Melbourne Passenger Service as it crosses the main Sydney/Melbourne highway at Wodonga.
3 NR Class locos (National Rail) head up a standard guage freight as it passes through Benalla (Victoria)
The old signal box at Wodonga (Victoria) is still in use.
TOOT!
