We had a fantastic visit to the clipper ship “The City of Adelaide” with a very enjoyable lunch overlooking the water in Port Adelaide. If you missed it, you missed a great afternoon. Check out the pictures in this newsletter. We had a lovely party at Marty’s house for Australia Day. Ray Winterfield brought his guitar and we had a sing -a-long. We shared good food and fun. Another “no cost” function to members. We, again, had a really memorable Coral Sea celebration. This is so important to our association and the other associations which help us remember the connection with Australia and America. My only wish is that more of our members would take part and share this auspicious occasion with us. Check the newsletter pictures. We have said “Good-bye” to Nancy and Bill Schaff as they have moved to Hawaii. They always came to functions, gave good support for ideas and helped when needed. We will miss them but wish them all the best. Dr. Lage is still on her travels back and forth across the US. From the reports I have heard, she is enjoying herself very much.

  • Who Is Sir William Goodman?

    Who Is Sir William Goodman?

    To: South Australian Heritage Committee From: Senior Historic Architect Subject: REGISTER NOMINATION REPORT: HOLLAND STREET BRIDGE, HINDMARSH/THEBARTON (FORMER TRAMWAY BRIDGE) Date: 4th May, 1982 SUMMARY This report has been prepared because of a Ministerial request to assess the historical significance of the Holland Street Bridge following the River Torrens Flood Mitigation Report which proposed that the bridge be replaced. The Cawthorne Street Bridge, the other of the two former Tramway Bridges was built as a duplicate of the Holland Street Bridge in 1922, when the Hindmarsh tram line was duplicated. The Branch does not intend to nominate the Cawthorne Street Bridge for two reasons:- 1) The heritage significance is diminished because the bridge was built considerably later than the Holland Street Bridge and was a copy of a much earlier design. 2) The Cawthorne Street Bridge has been declared unsafe for traffic because of extensive undermining of the piers and shear cracks in the webs. Historically, the Holland Street Bridge is significant because it is one of the first reinforced concrete bridges constructed in the State and was designed by Sir William Goodman, whose responsibility to provide Adelaide with an electrified tramway system led to his knighthood. Architecturally, the Holland Street Bridge is significant as one of the earliest known reinforced concrete bridges in South Australia, and possibly the first monolithic pier and beam bridge in the State. Environmentally, the Holland Street Bridge is significant as an important local traffic link across the river, and also as a recognised local landmark. The Integrity of the Bridge is high, and not diminished by the only noticeable alterations - the addition of protective fences and Hotmix laid over rails.

Proposal Summary Tasmanian Rail Revitalisation Program – Rail Infrastructure Initiative Name: Capital Initiative Tasmanian Rail Network (State-wide) as defined in Location (State/Region(or City)/ Schedule 1 Part 1 of the (refer Locality): Rail Infrastructure Act 2007 Annexure 1 – The Tasmanian Rail Network) Tasmanian Government and Tasmanian Railway Pty Ltd Name of Proponent Entity: (TasRail) Damien White Contact (Name, Position, phone/e- Chief Executive Officer – TasRail mail): 11 Techno Park Drive Kings Meadows, Tasmania 7249 www.tasrail.com.au Executive summary TasRail, supported by the Tasmanian Government, is focused on rejuvenating rail so that it can be an important and integral component of an effective, efficient and sustainable transport system for Tasmania. Ultimately, the Tasmanian Government’s transport priority is for rail to attract a greater share of the contestable freight market (intermodal goods) and to continue to develop new business opportunities in those markets where it has a natural advantage (bulk goods). The Tasmanian Rail Revitalisation Program integrates securing both the safety and reliability of the rail network and the efficiency and competitiveness of rail freight operations. A detailed overview of the Rail Revitalisation Program is included at Annexure 2. The Rail Infrastructure Capital Initiative is a key component of the Rail Revitalisation Program. Combined with the Tasmanian Government’s investment in the Brighton Transport Hub, and the planned investments at the Burnie and Bell Bay Ports specifically targeted at streamlining the interface between road and rail and rail and shipping at these locations, there is now a sound foundation for an efficient integrated freight network for the State.

EDITOR: Andrew Neale, 7 Vinery Road, Leeds LS4 2LB, Yorkshire. LAYOUT & ASSISTANT EDITOR: Ron Redman. EDITORIAL Judging from the large numbers of letters from members, issue number 70 seems to have been well received, and I am most grateful to all those of you who took the trouble to write, particularly those who either sent or offered articles and photographs. We are gradually building up a stock of articles, but as mentioned before, the provision of suitable illustrations for these articles is still something of a problem and I will be most pleased to hear from anyone who can offer any good, sharp, black and white pictures of any aspect of the narrow gauge. It is a great pleasure to be able to include in this issue an article from one of our Australian members while two other illustrations in this issue have come from contributors in America and East Germany. I very much hope this will be the start of a trend and I will be receiving many more contributions from those of you living overseas who have access to much material denied to us in Britain. · From the next issue I hope to use this page to comment on various aspects of the narrow gauge scene (but NOT internal Society affairs) and will always be pleased to receive your views for possible inclusion in our correspondence pages.
