You don’t have to be a train­spot­ter or J‑line com­muter to be inter­ested in the redevel­op­ment of the John­son­ville Line (though it undoubtedly helps). In any case, you should­n’t miss your one and only oppor­tun­ity tomor­row to walk the tracks between Crofton Downs sta­tion and the Wadestown cross­ing loop. High­lights include spec­tac­u­lar views of the gorge and a couple of spooky tun­nels to explore.

For a sneak peek, here’s a video of the jour­ney, com­plete with alarm­ing squeaks and rattles and run­ning com­ment­ary by an over­ex­cited tod­dler, taken just before renov­a­tions began in earn­est.

 

Clips of the rest of the trip are view­able over on You­Tube, and you might also be inter­ested in some pho­tos of pro­gress pos­ted over at Sky­scra­per­City.
