These locomotives are on permanent display at Kenefick Park, which was established in 1989 in honor of noted former Union Pacific chairman, John C. Kenefick. The 4023 was one of twenty-five famous “Big Boy” type simple articulated locomotives Locomotive 4023 was a feature display lauded in the industry and press as the highest horsepower, heaviest and longest steam at the Omaha Shops locomotives ever built, developing seven thousand horsepower at their seventy miles until being moved to per hour design speed.

  • Royal Historical Society of Queensland Journal
    1 ROYAL HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF QUEENSLAND JOURNAL Volume XIV, No.1 February 1990 Queensland v. The Commonwealth: The State's Objection to the Australian Standard Garratt Programme by Alan Whiting Presented at a meeting of the Society, 22 June, 1989 The entry of Japan into the Second World War brought massive traffic demands to the government railway system of Queensland (QGR). As a partial resolution to those demands the Commonwealth resolved to construct a number of locomotives for use on some of the narrow (3'6") gauge rail systems, including the QGR. That locomotive type became known as the Australian Standard Garratt (ASG), a name that even now, almost fifty years later evokes acrimonious memories in some circles. The ASG project ultimately cost Australia dearly, not only in the direct losses of millions of pounds of public funds but more importantly in the waste of thousands of tons of fabricated metal, and countless hours of added congestion to valuable workshop resources and, worse still, to overcrowded lines, which became so vital to the defence of Australia. The ASG's most outstanding feature was controversy and what this paper examines is not the public controversy that resulted after the locomotive had proved itself as an horrendous and indeed dangerous mechanical failure, but the bitter, relatively private dispute that raged between the Commonwealth and Queensland primarily before and during the construction of the machine. Essentially, that contest was over who, as between the Commonwealth and the State, had the right to determine how the QGR as the State's largest enterprise was to be managed, as it was Alan Whiting, BA, LLB, is a solicitor who has extensively researched the role of Queensland Railways during World War II and pubUshed Engine of Destruction.

  • The Steam Locomotive Table, V1
    The Steam Locomotive Table, v1 If you’re reading this; you either like steam trains, or want to know more about them. Hopefully, either way, I can scratch your itch with this; a set of randomizer/dice-roll tables of my own making; as inspired by some similar tables for tanks and aircrafts. Bear with me, I know not everyone knows the things I do, and I sure know I don’t know a lot of things other train enthusiasts do; but hopefully the descriptions and examples will be enough to get anyone through this smoothly. To begin, you’ll either want a bunch of dice or any online dice-rolling/number generating site (or just pick at your own whim); and somewhere or something to keep track of the details. These tables will give details of a presumed (roughly) standard steam locomotive. No sentinels or other engines with vertical boilers; no climax, shay, etc specially driven locomotives; are considered for this listing as they can change many of the fundamental details of an engine. Go in expecting to make the likes of mainline, branchline, dockyard, etc engines; not the likes of experiments like Bulleid’s Leader or specific industry engines like the aforementioned logging shays. Some dice rolls will have uneven distribution, such as “1-4, and 5-6”. Typically this means that the less likely detail is also one that is/was significantly less common in real life, or significantly more complex to depict. For clarity sake examples will be linked, but you’re always encouraged to look up more as you would like or feel necessary.

  • Railway Locomotive and Rollingstock Drawings
    Railway locomotive and rollingstock drawings Research Guide to Railway locomotive and rollingstock drawings records at Queensland State Archives Research Guide to Railway Locomotive and Rollingstock Drawings Records This research guide provides an overview of the drawings produced by or for the Chief Mechanical Engineer’s Branch (or Locomotive Branch) of the Railway Department. The drawings are available on microfilm at Queensland State Archives (QSA). These railway drawings trace the development of Queensland railway locomotive and rollingstock from 1864. Most of the drawings consist of general arrangement and working drawings for the construction of rollingstock. The QSA references for these records are in the Queensland State Archives’ catalogue. Note: QSA does not hold all drawings proposed for or adopted by Queensland Rail (QR). Queensland Rail Heritage Collection The Queensland Rail Heritage Collection consists of 72 series of records transferred to Queensland State Archives from the Workshops Rail Museum, Ipswich, in 2019. The QRHS spans the years 1864 to 2007. All the records are open. These holdings give us a glimpse into Queensland’s past with railway brass bands, railway refreshment rooms and clock repair registers. There are many treasures in the plans, drawings, photographs and audio-visual material. A search of our catalogue using the keywords - Queensland Rail Heritage Collection - will find all the series of records including hyperlinks to descriptions. Interested researchers are welcome to visit Queensland State Archives to request and view the records. Each series has a Queensland Rail/Queensland Museum catalogue number. A list in numerical order by catalogue numbers is in the Research Guide to railway records at Queensland State Archives.
