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 Sydney Harbour Bridge was a good location to observe afternoon single deck running. The North Shore line would feed trains to the western and northern lines and as a result it was common to have a number of single deck sets follow each other. The afternoon road traffic is building up on the 1932 opened structure as C7420 drops downgrade towards Milsons Point station with set M7 on Tuesday 27 November, 1990.
