Is it Hamilton Junction (photo taken from the overbridge that Google Earth labels as Girling St), with the train heading towards Port Waratah?

I have to say yes to that. If I remember the junction you mentioned is either Islington or Hanbury Junction

I'm going to say it's an older photo, taken sometime in the afternoon, and I'm going to say Hexham. (Yes, I know the building on the station has been replaced with just a shelter.)

So I guess it's not Victoria Street then.

Between Metford & East Maitland stations. Google Map: Victoria Street station

Thanks, guys. We're getting a bit closer, but it's not there, either.

I just looked it up on Google Earth: Victoria Street is on a slightly curved section of track.

My photo is on a straight section of track, with a yard, part of which is seen in front of 9014, near a major junction and with a significant (now derelict) signal box (the roof of which can be seen over the top of 9014) opposite the station. Does this help? :)

Good guess but no prize. Thornton is further away.
