Cockburn Central Station.

Cockburn Central Station.
The freeway has the electric rail in the middle 13 station on the southern side. I was lucky that I went for the event 8-1-2006 when the foot bridge right side was being put on early in the morning. The shot was taken from the South lake bridge over the freeway The freeway closed to get this done then the same for other side on a different weekend. You will notice no train line no electrical wires at this stage. The Southern line opened 23-12-2007 and has run full "steam" since.

This train is on its way down the Line to Mandurah a train runs every 15min in the day time easy way to get to Perth.

peak hour either side can become a slow moving parking station, freeway is not wide enough not enough lanes. The photos came from the traffic bridge over the freeway, thankfully there is a pedestrian path so I could get the shot. Modern Rail way nothing old nothing really romantic as an old steam train that I was use to in NZ from our home, but it works.

Erhard Bernstein, cammino have particularly liked this photo

I do like this series Steve, You do tell a good story when you want to. The train itself looks similar to some of our trams over here from the top. I see Mandurah is only about 40 miles from Perth. The freeway shows very little traffic at the moment as you say. Ours rarely get as quite as this and we have motorway traffic jams going for many miles every day. Thanks for sharing and well done.

Cheers. Herb

Yes you have to pick your time on the freeway or its a slow moving parking bay. There is pinch points all the way down the freeway. I have gone through a whole cd just to get past next station the traffic was so bad. it certainly is usefull but you have to be well aware of the time. The northern side is about the same in time as well from Perth center but trains dont go full length you have to change line in the center of Perth.
