December 2011 trip to Adelaide: Part 1

December 19, 2011 18:34 PM

If you are wondering about the lack of photos uploaded over the past few weeks, it is because I went on a trip to Adelaide.

I have finished uploading the first round of photos, which are a bit of a mixed bag...

• A day riding and motorcading trains at Steamranger
• Chasing the narrow gauge steam train at Semaphore
• No trams running at Victor Harbor when I was there
• Checking out the earthworks and massive bridge on the Seaford Rail Extension project
• Hi-rail trucks used to operate ballast trains on the Gawler Line
• Out and about on the Gleneng Tram
• V/Line on the South Australian side of the border
• Taking a trip on the O-Bahn, a concrete track used by buses in Adelaide's north-eastern suburbs
• Adelaide's double-ended tow truck used to recover broken down buses
• Buses around the city streets

Stay tuned for the photos of suburban trains and a variety of freight over the next week or so. (it's a big collection to go through!)

I'm finally back from a roadtrip up to New South Wales, and have uploaded a huge collection of new photos to the site.

They include...

• Trestle bridges on the Orbost Line
• Wandering around stations on the Main South and a number of closed branches
• Trains on the Skitube rack railway in the Snowy Mountains
• Freight, CityRail and CountryLink services around the Southern Highlands
• Wandering through the bush to the incomplete Maldon - Dombarton railway bridge at Maldon
• A visit to the NSW Rail Transport Museum at Thirlmere
• Freight and grain trains on the Main South
• A look at the remains of the old Wodonga station

Enjoy!
