  • Rails Through the Wilderness David Jehan BE(Hons), MIE(Aust) Railway Engineer & Author Rail Technical Society of Australia
    Rails Through the Wilderness David Jehan BE(Hons), MIE(Aust) Railway Engineer & Author Rail Technical Society of Australia Introduction Rail systems can be used as an effective high capacity method of transporting people through environmentally sensitive areas. There are numerous examples world wide of railway technology being used in this sort of application. Three case studies are presented, these being :- · Skitube Alpine Railway – Kosciuszko National Park, NSW. · West Coast Wilderness Railway, West Coast, Tasmania. · Postojna Caves, Slovenija. Skitube Alpine Railway The Kosciusko National Park in the Snowy Mountain Ranges of New South Wales is home to Australia's most popular ski fields. Each Winter between June and October there is a huge influx of skiers to the resorts at Perisher Valley, Thredbo, Smiggin Holes, Guthega and Charlotte Pass. Private car and charter bus have been the traditional access to the mountains for skiers but during the late 1970's it became apparent that the road and parking facilities existing at the time were inadequate for the steadily increasing demand being placed on them. Traffic problems were particularly severe on the Kosciusko road, which gives access to the major resorts of Smiggin Holes and Perisher Valley from Jindabyne. Long delays caused by snow, ice, collisions and lack of parking space were all too common. The National Parks and Wildlife Service of N.S.W. (N.P.W.S.) commissioned a “Draft Plan of Management” for the park in 1981. This document was produced in order to address the problems created by the increasing number of visitors that were using the area.

  • 2015-09-01 Modernisierung Von Skitube EN
    MEDIENMITTEILUNG Bussnang, 1.9.2015 Upgrade for Perisher Skitube Rail The Skitube Alpine Railway in the Australian Snowy Mountains is set for a major upgrade after almost 30 years of reliable service, transporting millions of people up to Perisher Ski Resort in the Kosciuszko National Park. The Swiss train company Stadler Rail, which is the world’s only provider of the rack and rail system employed by Skitube has just been awarded a two million dollar contract to upgrade the trains’ control systems. Skitube employs a Swiss - designed rack and rail system which uses a toothed cog pinion wheel engaging with a centrally located rack to drive and brake the trains safely up and down the steep mountain inclines. Perisher CEO Peter Brulisauer said after almost 30 years of operations replacement parts were becoming increasingly hard to find, so the decision had been made to upgrade and modernise Skitube. “Skitube has safely carried over four million passengers up to Perisher Valley and Blue Cow and remains the most efficient and practical way to allow people to experience the very best of Perisher,” said Mr Brulisauer. The modernisation program for Skitube, which is scheduled to be carried out during the off-season between October 2016 and April 2017, will ensure that the system continues to meet the highest of Swiss safety standards for rack railways. Upgraded braking The new train control system to be installed by Stadler includes upgraded braking, electronic control equipment and driver displays for controlling and monitoring train functions. Stadler will also carry out commissioning, safety and functionality tests together with Perisher’s rail specialists.
