Australian Railway History  |  September 2023
After the 1909–1910 strike by coal miners in the Hunter Valley, the Victorian state government were determined to ensure stability in local supplies of coal. The State Coal Mine and the town of Wonthaggi came into being in 1910 to supply coal for the Victorian Railways. We take an extended look and compare the timetable from the mid 50s with a 1977 run on the line and compare the timetable and the traffic that would of travel along the Wonthaggi branch before closure. We also explore the Dubbo region in 1968 when trains were plenty and seemed to be coming around the corner every few minutes but then reflect on life on the Queensland Railways and those ASGs. All this and more in our September issue!
