Guest Photographer - Glenn Ryan

   
 

Glenn Ryan has been a keen railway photographer for many years and has made a concerted effort to capture single deck electric train operations in their final years. He has contributed material to Under The Wires, Railway Digest and other publications. Glenn previously worked for Freightcorp as an electrical fitter in a depot in country New South Wales. He has since gone on to co-author a number of books on Sydney's single-deck red-sets.

This was the second SETS web-site Guest Photographer feature of the new millenium, dating from July 2001. With narrow single-deck suburban trains back in Sydney, for historical interest we again present Glenn's selection of wide-body single-deck images taken from his vast photographic collection.

The stretch of track between Burwood and Newtown passes many fine heritage buildings. The evolution of housing designs from the Victorian, Federation and Inter War period can be observed during the journey. On Friday 27 December 1991, the original Zoo Train, set H22, led by C3330. "The Zebra" heads towards the city and past Federation Period housing at Stanmore.
