Wongm's Rail Gallery

2000 likes on Facebook

Another milestone for me - Wongm's Rail Gallery page on Facebook has hit 2000 likes. Thanks to everyone - it took eight years to get the first 1000 likes, but only two years to get the next 1000!

(And if you take a really close look at the image, you might see a few familiar photos)

Why the lack of new photos?

As you might have noticed I haven't uploaded many photos recently - this graph really shows the decline.

The last time I uploaded so few photos was when I went overseas!

But luckily for you I haven't been wasting the Coronavirus lockdown - I've been still regularly updating my main blog, my Hong Kong transport and European rail spinoffs, along with uploading my backlog of non-train photos to Flickr.

Finally back up to date!

After a busy few weeks, I've finally caught up with my backlog of photo uploads - that's what happens after spending a few weekend riding trains instead of sorting out photos!

On a side note, I've got page on Patreon! Patreon is a simple way for you to contribute to the running of my photo gallery every month, and you get a sneak peek at what's coming up on my other websites in return!

Photos from my 2019 visit to Adelaide

I've just returned from another trip to Adelaide on The Overland to ride trains trams, and buses.

Along the way I saw:

• Day 1: The Overland from Melbourne to Adelaide,
• Day 2: trains to Bowden then Cloverley Park, trams on the new extension to the Botanic Gardens, and buses through the new O-Bahn tunnel,
• Day 3: train to Port Adelaide, and a visit to the National Railway Museum,
• Day 4: returning to Melbourne on The Overland

I've just launched my page on Patreon

Reorganising my bus photos

When I first launched this site over a decade ago, any photos I happened to take of buses ended up in a single album titled 'buses'. Fast forward to now, and there are now 1500+ photos across 60+ pages in that album!

 

To make life easier I've sorted them into albums by bus operator - you can find the full set here, along with a feed of just newly uploaded bus photos.

 

 

Finally for those you you not interested in buses or trams, I've got a page of just the latest train photos.

As well as taking photos I occasionally switch my camera over to video mode - you can find the results on my YouTube channel
