Under the guise of progress, the rail line into the city of Newcastle has been ripped up and the overhead power lines removed! At this stage the train signals are still there, maybe they will be left as a monument to the past and town history!

Interesting capture and piece of history, John. Soon there will be nothing left. #11471055Patrick Rouzes May 06, 2016
Progress is not always good, John, and I hope they leave the train signals there. Super clarity in this story-telling shot, my friend. Hope you had a great birthday. A bit late, though. #11471071Ujjwal Mukherjee May 06, 2016

Not all progress is progress or beneficial. Urban decay captured well. #11471517John Connolly May 07, 2016
