CAMELLIA STATION

ABOVE: Last train to Hardies seen at Clyde before departure, and at
Hardies station itself.
If I recall correctly (feel free to correct me), a couple of services terminated here during weekday peak hour, the rest travelling the full
distance of the branch to Sandown.
 Services continued to Sandown for a short while longer, before becoming a freight only line. Freight ceased in May 2010.
The following three shots show one of the last trains, the final Patricks service to Port Botany
