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.

It was unusual to see single deck sets rostered to work on weekends up to their withdrawal. The Carlingford line did bring some variety to the metropolitan scene with the allocation of three car Y sets to provide shuttle services between Clyde and Carlingford. 7000 series power car C7310, retaining its early 1970s two tone green interior leads T4381 and C7507 on set Y1 towards Parramatta Road level crossing on Sunday 22 April, 1990.
