Bush Mill Railway. 15 inch gauge railway at Port Arthur. The
locomotive is a half size replica of K-1, the world's first Garratt
locomotive. |
 |
On an early morning empty coal train to Fingal. |
 |
Wee Georgie Wood on a section of the preserved Tullah
tramway that once provided the only connection to the west coast town of
Tullah. |
 |
The "Goliath Express" arrives at Devonport with the
Devonport - Railton Goliath Cement shuttle train. |
 |
ZB9 passes ZC11 at Devonport. |
 |
ZC11 with the Goliath Cement train passes ZB14 at the head
of a goods train. These two locomotives were the only ones in the reverse
yellow / green AN livery at this time in 1993. |
 |
ZC32 at Western Junction. |
 |
ZA3 eases a northbound goods over the Derwent River at
Bridgewater. |
 |
4-8-2 locomotive H2 at Claremont after a run to Maydena.
Apparently this was the last time the train would run from Claremont, being
based at New Norfolk after that time. I turned up on the morning of the run
and managed to get the very last seat. My 2 accomplices drove alongside and
videoed the run. |
 |
Battery mining train emerging from the Pasminco mine at
Rosebery. |
 |
Empty Emu Bay Railway train heading south for another load
of ore. |
 |
EBR train crossing the impressive bridge at Bastyan Dam. |
 |
Same train on its return trip towards Burnie. |
 |
Veteran carriage at Launceston loco depot. There were all
sorts of goodies here as there was to be a huge 3 day auction of almost
everything at the depot soon after we were there. Unfortunately we weren't
able to spare the time to attend. But picked up a few lesser pieces during
our visit. |
 |
This X class loco was apparently driven to St Mary's and
left there. The rails torn up behind it. Seemed such a waste. It was in very
good condition when I took photos of it, but already vandals had smashed all
the gauges in the cab. I hate to think what condition it is probably in
today. |
 |
Ida Bay Railway. The Malcolm Moore tractor was in a bad way
during my visit. It was blowing more smoke than a steam loco and ran out of
fuel twice on the return run. |
 |
The southern most point of any railway in Australia. Ida
Bay's 2ft gauge track heads to sea. There had once been a pier at this
location. |
 |
Rough track on the return loop at Ida Bay. |
 |
Bush Central? A platform along the Ida Bay railway. |
