As we approach Christmas 2015 we can look back on another good season for the railway; much has been achieved within the budgets set. More importantly Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year to all. is the conclusion of moving back into the workshop, completing phase one of the museum and resurfacing two thirds of Ravenglass car park. The hundredth anniversary was a huge success, the railway received a large amount of publicity both in the local press, television and radio, the sun shone most of the time, and the railway ran almost faultlessly. Importantly everyone had an enjoyable time. What was very noticeable, most welcome and almost overwhelming was the contribution from the volunteers. It was possible to send personnel to all stations (including the Mill for the special centenary shuttle), cover the guarding turns (including the free train at the workshop) and still have folk to spare. A big thank you to all involved. Although we did approach our friends at the Bure Valley and Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railways, try as they might they couldn’t release locomotives to us for this season. We have been very fortunate to enjoy their support in recent years, however we have survived 2015, just, with our own fleet.

  • Camden Railway Station a Reminder of Incessant Government Under-Funding of the Nsw Rail System
    CAMDEN RAILWAY STATION A REMINDER OF INCESSANT GOVERNMENT UNDER-FUNDING OF THE NSW RAIL SYSTEM These notes relate only to the history of the passenger facilities at the Camden terminus. The history of the branch line has already been published. Alan Smith, a long-time member of the Australian Railway Historical Society and a frequent volunteer at its Resource Centre, won the competition to choose the cover photo for these notes. It seems strange that Alan chose a photograph not of the terminus but of an intermediate station, Kenny Hill. Why? Alan considered that this was the “iconic image of the challenges that existed in the day-to-day operation of the Camden line”. Specifically, the photograph shows the absence of priority given to passengers when the train crew had to decide whether to convey people or freight. It should be of no surprise that people lost out. Bob Merchant took this undated photograph on a day when the steam locomotive simply could not succeed in climbing the gradient. In the composition of the train were two milk pots. They were next to the engine. There was no question of reversing the train to Narellan, shunting and then proceeding with the only the passenger car. Why not? Because the milk pots had to be attached to No. 32 Express Goods or there would be serious trouble for the train crew if the Camden milk did not accompany the other milk vans from Bowral and Menangle on the train. What! Passengers are voters. Not so much in 1963 when the line closed.

  • Railway Goods Sheds and Warehouses Introductions to Heritage Assets Summary
    Railway Goods Sheds and Warehouses Introductions to Heritage Assets Summary Historic England’s Introductions to Heritage Assets (IHAs) are accessible, authoritative, illustrated summaries of what we know about specific types of archaeological site, building, landscape or marine asset. Typically they deal with subjects which lack such a summary. This can either be where the literature is dauntingly voluminous, or alternatively where little has been written. Most often it is the latter, and many IHAs bring understanding of site or building types which are neglected or little understood. Goods sheds and warehouses played a significant role in the economic life of England until the 1970s. This document gives an overview of the building type from its origins in the late 1820s until the final examples were constructed in the 1960s. It considers the function and development of goods sheds, discusses elements of their design, and gives some examples of how individual railway companies developed their own distinctive styles. This guidance note has been written by John Minnis and edited by Paul Stamper. It is one is of several guidance documents that can be accessed HistoricEngland.org.uk/listing/selection-criteria/listing-selection/ihas-buildings/ First published by Historic England March 2016.
