We have an extra-large sized April issue for you this month for the same price,
Our cover story is on the Central Australia Railway Story by Des Smith, edited by Nick Anchen. Des is an amazing individual as Des joined the Commonwealth Railways in 1955. He was a railway engineer for more than 40 years and Des planned and managed the upgrading of the track. Completing his career as the Chief Civil Engineer of Australian National Railways. Lindsey Walker has recently donated his complete photo collection to the ARHS Archives but within the photo collection was some colour photos of the terrible day on the 7th of February 1969 where the Southern Aurora collided head on with a freight train, tragically killing 9 people. We offer a pictorial feature of what Lindsey’s father saw on that morning. These photos also coincide with the Melbourne ARHS Branches Luncheon Tour to Violet Town to review the progress on the Southern Aurora Memorial Garden with a report on the event. Warwick Allison writes on the interesting invention of NSW Railways Standard Unattended Automatic Crossing Loops an innovation that allowed the railways to operate more traffic, saved much manpower and economics when the railways had to cut back but run services on NSW branch lines. We also have another exciting instalment into the History of the Gippsland Line Electrification – Part 3.
All this and more in our April issue!
