We have one that I know of in smog hollow.
Wolli Creek on the Illawarra line.
When the then newbie Airport line tunnel was bored, they went underneath Wolli Creek.
That connecting with the existing East Hills line.
To provide some vitamin D to the cattle, the Wolli Creek underground station is open to the atmosphere.
But, to prevent miscreants, and we got heaps of them, from tossing rocks down onto the Airport line station at Wolli Creek a huge razor wire fence surrounds the gaping chasm.
So, cattle can now transfer from the Airport line to the Illawarra line at Wolli Creek.
Mind you, during the plague, there ain't many cattle getting on or off at Mascot International station.
The beauty of grade separation meaning that trains that do actually cross time wise don't need to suffer any delays, as they might encounter when attempting to go across at same level junctions.
Steve.
