Railway Street - Jackman Street creek crossing

Jackman St to Wardoo St

This part of the trip is slightly vague, but at Wardoo St the line is still very obvious.

Looking west from the Creek end of the Blue Line (right camera icon on map) May 2013

Looking east from around the middle of the blue line (2nd most right camera icon on map) May 2013
Note the drop off to right, both sides of the path show it is artificially raised

The pathway ends on the western end with a concrete entrance (2nd camera icon from left on map) May 2013

Confusing Paths: The Zig Zag in the bottom of Jackman Street probably indicates where the line crossed the road as it headed over the creek. I've coloured the route blue after here as much of the path is still visible in this section.
At the end of the blue section the line runs out into a flat parkland area and then there is no clear indication where it went.
The Next bit of Red is the obvious path by the street layout but it is also a floodway which doesn't make sense unless the track ran along the bank.
The Green line is an alternative path and Terrigal Cr does seem to be unusally wide and the smoother contour than expected makes it likely this is the old path.
2013 update - found a topographic map from 1966 - the line did run beside the floodway
