On the trail of North West Rail (Part 2)

Your fearless correspondent continued his tour of inspection the other day of progress on the North West Rail link.

Here's where the marching column of  viaduct piers has got to so far, their progress guarded by a (friendly) security guard.

The Sydney Metro (otherwise known as the North West Rail Link) will burst out of its tunnels at Bella Vista, and become a 'skytrain',  running on a viaduct for the last few kilometres. The support piers are being churned out in front of our eyes, and there's a big gantry crane thing that puts the box girders in place on the piers.




I went out as far as Rouse Hill Town Centre, which will be served by the train one day. The Town Centre is an award-winning indoor-outdoor sort of shopping & community centre, which does have a fairly good feel to it.



 As good a place as any for my morning coffee.
