Australian Railway History | March 2016
The March issue of Australian Railway History offers a diverse range of articles, commencing with Mike Quirk’s account of an unusual accident in Queensland, the collision between a QR tram-train and a city council steam tram in Rockhampton on 8 January 1919. Part 1 of Phil Buckley’s presentation of John King’s railway career follows. This covers John’s early postings in the Sydney metropolitan area and then his transfer to the rural centre of Gundagai on the branch line from Cootamundra to Tumut and Batlow.
