This crossing should have been closed if Duncan Gay hadn’t cancelled the project. The NSW government are at fault this crossing regularly fails and the corner of Rawson Rd and Railway St is the scene of many accidents
I have lived here over 30 years and it just gets worse with the amount of traffic and the goods trains up to 2klm long. A main thoroughfare is no place for a railway crossing it might have been practicable 50 years ago but not now and another poor person has lost their life !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
