Australian Railway History

May 2025 🎪🚂THE MAY ARH ISSUE OUT NOW IN DIGITAL AND PRINT🚂🤡 Thinking about a world without cars is really hard now, but Shepherd’s is a long forgotten mainline wayside station that served local farming districts and gave locals a link to the bigger world for their goods and family. The stop is located between Harefield and Bomen on the New South Wales Main South Line and is 504.641 kilometres from Sydney. Opened on Friday 10 March 1893 it is simply now gone but not forgotten. Three Days of Enjoyment — Opening the Railway from Narrandera to Darlington Point reveals an account from The Hay Standard, Wednesday, 7 September 1881, tells of a three-day coach journey from Hay to Darlington Point and return to join festivities celebrating completion of the next stage of the South Western Line that would arrive at Hay in a little under a year. During the excursion the travellers visited two large sheep stations on the Hay Plains, giving us a snapshot into the operation of those iconic 19th Century pastoral institutions. We also continue with Part 2 on Greg Blackwells interesting Circus Trains in Australia, Between 1891 and 1963. It’s hard to believe so much interest from the community being on the station yards when these trains arrived in to town with elephants helping to unpack and set up the performance site. All this and more in our MAY issue! Grab your copy now!

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
