Today's historic photo of the day: With a special LVR long weekend tour train from Sydney to Gwabegar and Dubbo sitting at the platform, we see a streetside view of the #railway station at Coonabarabran, NSW, January 30 1983.

Note the classic NSWR roundel nameboard affixed to the front of the station. It seems almost comically misshapen with the horizontal bar wide enough to fit the long name almost 3 times the diameter of the disc.

A small weatherboard railway station building with a recently re-done corrugated iron roof seen from the car park out front. A NSWR roundel-style station nameboard is affixed to the front wall between two of the windows - with black block letters on a white background. To fit the long name, the rounder is almost comically distended in comparison to most similar signs, in this case the horizontal bar is about 3 times as wide as the diameter of the disc. Just visible behind the station building at left is a carriage of a passenger train sitting at the platform.

Interior space of a main railway station building in Novi Sad, Serbia, built in 1964. On 1 November 2024, the concrete canopy (not seen in the photo) of the recently renovated station collapsed onto the busy pavement below, killing 16 people and severely injuring one more.

The collapse spawned a series of mass protests in Novi Sad, which then spread throughout Serbia, fueled by dissatisfaction with other issues including government corruption and media censorship.

The image is a high-angle, landscape-orientated, black and white photograph of a large, indoor public space of a train station in Novi Sad, Serbia. The space features high ceilings with a visible structural framework. Large windows span the height of the walls, allowing natural light to enter. Below the windows, there is a mezzanine level with a railing and some potted plants. The ground floor is spacious with a light-colored tiled floor. Several groups of people are present, some standing and some sitting on benches with luggage nearby. A staircase with glass railings leads from the ground floor to the mezzanine level. On one of the walls, there is a large, abstract decorative piece. Several storefronts or service areas with glass fronts are located on the ground floor.

This is the Powderhall branch line of the Edinburgh and Leith Railway, the last part still in existence. It's been unused for almost a decade. (The other lines were dismantled long ago, but many can still be followed as cycle routes like Warriston Path.)

I took the photo from the bridge where the line crosses the Water of Leith, close to Redbraes Park. Gaps in the fence on either side allow you to cross the bridge on foot, and are even marked on OpenStreetMap! @Gaelan and I found the spot while wandering last autumn.

I love how Edinburgh contains so many hidden places, even in otherwise relatively built-up, populous areas. It's a place that rewards exploration.

A view looking down a long, straight pair of train tracks in the forest overgrown by weeds. In the foreground it's reasonably clear, and on either side there are tall metal fences in the corrugated, spiky National Rail style; past each one, there is a sharp drop, as this is in fact an old bridge over a river. In the distance, on land, bushes on either side of the track start to encroach and trees grow closer on each side, spreading over the track to create the impression that it's entering a green, leafy tunnel. In the far distance, you can just about see a fallen tree covering the line.
