Coalcliff railway station
Coalcliff railway station is located on the South Coast railway line in New South Wales, Australia. It serves the seaside village of Coalcliff opening in August 1920.[2] A yard exists south of the station for the Illawarra Coke Company's Coalcliff Cokeworks. Although rail transport had ceased some time prior, the cokeworks remained open until mid-2013. A passing loop to the east of the station remains in use. South of the station the double line becomes single to pass through Coalcliff Tunnel.

gollark: In summary, renewables are uncool except possibly for powering off-grid locations, nuclear is cooler.
gollark: Solar panels degrade too, actually, but IIRC those can be recycled better.
gollark: Especially compared to the bigger problems of:- giant amounts of CO2 and other air pollution from foolish fossil fuels- for solar: giant amounts of discarded solar panels which aren't usable any more- for all renewables, really: lots of dead batteries
gollark: It is *a* downside, but not a very big one.
gollark: The only real downside is setup cost and waste.
