NSWGR D57 Class No. 5722, [Moss Vale]
Many thanks to Peter Sharpe for the following information:
These had a restricted working range, only on certain lines, and there is a sign in the background that says "E. Bernardo's... fruit and vegetables... Central Avenue".
The only Central Avenues that Google Earth knows about are in Thornleigh (D57's never went there), Manly (ditto), Alexandria (could well be), Oran Park (not sure) and Oak Flats (nope).
So, if anyone knows whether E. Bernado had his shop in Alexandria or Oran Park, it might be possible to nail down the location. The overpass looks distinctive.
