glimpses of heritage-listed Temora railway precinct...

Today was a slow drive day...
Weather looked a little unfriendly, so I decided to wander to close-by sights...
I chose to get some idea of the heritage-listed Temora railway precinct...
The main building dates from 1893 and the refreshment room was added in 1912...
The passenger rail service was closed in 1986...
However, privately operated services still use the line connecting the Riverina to other parts of NSW...
And the precinct has been opened to community events e.g. music festivals, markets...
(Next visit will involve more close views on the other side of the line...
The extensive area is only open to the public on a Friday 9am-12 midday + 1st + 3rd Saturdays of the month 9am to 12 midday, so would prefer to get there early...)
But today, I wanted some photos of the nearby silos...



Mainly grain trains travel the Temora line now...
There is something so comforting about hearing the low rumble of a grain train...especially in the midnight hours...
I am living close enough to the line to hear them...
