Australian Railway History

July 2025 Can you imagine sitting at any of the stations beyond Gosford on the Shorth North in the 1960s and watching the incredible display of steam streaming past on a scale never to be seen again! Laurie Anderson, Graham Cotterall, Ian Gray, Malcolm Holdsworth and Robert Kingsford-Smith have come together to display the very best black and white photos from their collections of this special time. There was always a sense of anticipation as the interurban slowed on its approach to Gosford station. Which of the seven steam classes would be in the yard waiting to haul the next few trains? Col Gilbertson and Robert Kingsford-Smith’s writings provide a detailed overview of locomotive working and operations on the Short North between 1965 and 1972. The comparisons of then and now are startling to anyone who has travelled between Sydney to Newcastle. You cannot afford to miss this issue and of course the many photos of those 60 Class Garratts! All this and more in our JULY issue!

Highly recommended Ozzie Railway History Mag

Anyone interested in Australian Railway history, this is a well produced, and high quality mag. My great grandfather helped built many of these railways in late 19C. Reviewed 22 November 2018
