Stony Point Line. 3/5/09
3rd May 2009

After years of A class and MTH's running the Frankston - Stony Point shuttle, the decision was made to use Sprinters on the line instead, and this was the first time I went down to photograph them. Walked from Somerville to Tyabb, had reasonably bad luck with light, and the Long Island Steel never showed up... But Tyabb is such a fun and happening place, this didn't really matter!
