Sunshine's Signal Box "A passing Parade"

28th July 2008

This collection of photos, houses shots taken around the Sunshine controlled area. As I am an Area Controller at the signal box I get to photograph quite a few of the trains that pass through both on the Standard and Broad gauge lines.

In this folder you will find various operations from various groups and companies that operate trains through Sunshine, this includes Steamrail, 707 Operations, Connex, Pacific National and of course V/Line, as well other operators from time to time.

Sometimes the photos are taken from signal box height and sometimes from ground level, it all depends on how quick and how much time I have to get camera ready. Normally in the job I do, a trains turns up and its a matter of grabbing camera, point and shoot.

I hope you enjoy these photos, and keep an eye out on this folder as it is updated reguarly.

Thanks
