15/365
Inspired by m.clemm. She also did a 365. So go and check her stream!
I'm just so tired at the moment that I am not able to create new things.
I'm not sure how to call this structure, but there are four of them: two at each end of the Maria Kristina zubia (Maria Cristina bridge)
Most of the stone structures comprising Dubbo Railway Station were built between 1879 and 1881 in preparation for its opeining in 1881. The station master's residence was completed that same year. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries some additions were made to the precinct, including:
1891 - construction of the lamp room and wool stage;
1893 - Dubbo West rail siding;
1897 - carriage shed;
1898 - the western end platform extension;
1803 - opening of the Dubbo-Coonamble rail line;
1904 - installation of a 20 tonne cart weighbridge and extensions to the Sydney end of the platform;
1908 - grain shed.
Numerous additions and alterations were made in the first two decades of the early 20th century, decreasing in frequency into the 1930s and 1940s.
By 1975 passenger services to Bourke, Cobar, and Coonamble were replaced by a road coach services connecting with the trains at Dubbo Railway Station.
The 1980s saw demolition of several by-then anacrhonistic structural elements including the municipal gas siding, the livestock loading facility, the Darling Street gate house, and the Institute Hall (relocated elsewhere). In 1988 the Dubbo-Molong line was decommissioned in 1988.
Dubbo Railway Station remains an operational station on the western line, operated by RailCorp, although the station master's residence is now in private ownership.
In February 2019 New South Wales Deputy Premier John Barilaro and Transport Minister Andrew Constance in Dubbo announced a $2.8 billion rail project to be based out of Dubbo. The new Rail Maintenance Facility would be based in the city, but the announcement of a new fleet of trains to take the place of our current XPT, XPLORER, and Endeavour trains. This entire project, which includes maintenance services for the first 15 years, will ensure the Dubbo electorate becomes the hub for rail in New South Wales.

STRUCTURES is a series of generative art pieces the explores the constructions of our world by taking photographs of man-made and natural structures and placing them into a new structure. This process semi-randomly fragments and rearranges the photographs into a grid of my design. I'll often run the images through this process several times, using various grid structures along the way.
