December 2011 trip to Adelaide: Part 2
February 07, 2012 21:56 PM
A month or two ago I posted the first half of the photos from my December 2011 trip to Adelaide: you can now see the rest of them in part two.
First up are photos of TransAdelaide's suburban services, and the network in general:
- TransAdelaide around the Adelaide suburbs
- A wander around Adelaide Railway Station
- Looking out the front window at the railway stations around the suburbs
- Taking a closer look at the TransAdelaide fleet of railcars
The final bit is the loco hauled action, of Great Southern Rail services, and mainline freight:
- Freight around suburban Adelaide and various freight terminals
- Double stacked freight heading west
- Great Southern Rail passenger services and operations at Keswick
Enjoy!
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!)
