In this video, you'll discover what remains of the old Carlingford line following its closure at the start of 2020.

Since then, the majority of it has been converted to light rail, as part of the Parramatta Light Rail project.

However, the section from Clyde to Camellia is not part of this scheme, so this video is all about what is happening (or has already happened) to this section of the old Carlingford Line.

I start at Clyde Station and cover the short section to the Parramatta Road that is currently being used by two Track Inspection Vehicles.

I'll show you where this old line crossed the Parramatta Road (on a level crossing), and then reveal the remains of this line from a few different vantage points including a bridge on James Ruse Drive.

Some of the old Carlingford Line rail corridor has become a Sydney Metro West construction site. It will be used to allow driverless metro trains to access the Clyde Maintenance and Stabling Facility.

You'll also see Rosehill Station before it was demolished in February 2023 to make way for the Sydney Metro West Clyde Dive Site. This includes the heritage listed overhead braced Warren truss footbridge that provided access to the station entrance and platforms 1 and 2.

Finally, I'll cover the remaining section from Rosehill Station to Camellia including a major junction for Parramatta Light Rail that has been built very close to the old Camellia Station.

A big thank you to @HowiesRailVideos for allowing me to use part of his Carlingford Line drivers eye view video.

Accuracy
I do my best to make the commentary in these videos as accurate as possible by checking facts on the internet and other sources. However, sometimes the information isn't available, so I'll use my railway knowledge and insight to explain something to the best of my ability. If accuracy is important, do check the comments, as other viewers will often pick up on things I've missed or any mistakes made. Also note that for older videos, things may change over time, causing some of the information to become out of date.

Construction Sites, Maintenance Facilities and other Private Property
All footage of construction sites, maintenance facilities and other private property is taken from a public vantage point. The only exception is if it's an open day or I have special permission to access the site. The iPhone's small lens and zoom function makes it easier to film through small gaps in hoardings or fencing, so it may look like I'm on site when I'm not! If you would like to know the exact filming location, then ask me in the comments.
