Australian Railway History Magazine September 2017 Edición anterior

The September issue of Australian Railway History opens with Alan Parkinson’s personal account of the railway accidents where he was responsible for supervising recovery efforts between 1965 and 1992. Many of these accidents involved fatalities, most notably the Granville disaster in January 1977. Rod Milne concludes his Katanning-Donnybrook cross-country line in Western Australia covering changes in locomotives and train operations up to the closure of the line between June 1982 and July 1987. The efforts of the Kojonup community to restore 12km of track for operation as the Kojonup Tourist Railway are also covered.
Brian Woolley documents the events of the 1974 RTM Cootamundra branches tour, which is illustrated with his excellent photographs and Greg Blackwell concludes the issue with an update on the Coombing Park Mine sidings and train operations between 1900 and 1924.
