Description : 1301 and 3137 pause at Carlingford (location? Any Sydneysiders recognise where this is?)

Yes, I know it's Christmas, but what else do you do on
Christmas Day? We (there are three of us) have been looking at
your steam engines and we've noted that you're seeking
information re. the location of 1301+3137 at what you think is
Carlingford (image 3396). Well, we reckon that it's 4 road at
Liverpool. My brother says it's a fact, but he's already had
several VBs. The giveaway for me is Newbridge Road bridge in the
background and the Georges River through the weeds. What do you
reckon?
I reckon yer might be right. Now that you mention it, I recall
that that trip did get to Liverpool at some stage. (It sure
went to most parts of Sydney south of the harbour!) Thanks
Wayne.
Subsequently (12 Jan 2005), Martin Hartley also wrote to
say:
I can confirm to you that this is most definitely
Liverpool Station, although a few things in that scene have
changed somewhat (they've put up new fencing and other stuff),
that scene is easily recognisable to me. How do I know this?
Every monday afternoon/evening I pass by Liverpool twice on my
way to band practice. That is most definitely the bridge at
Liverpool and the Georges river down there in the bush
somewhere. There are piers which used to carry a railway line to
Moorebank at the army barracks, but now carry a walkway over the
river.
Thanks, Martin. Now I think the matter is most definitely
resolved!
