What a milestone for an Association with such humble beginnings Load Testing NSW Rail- (originating in Victoria in 1951 with less than 10 members) to celebrate its 86 way Bridges “Blue Sapphire” anniversary with operating branches in four mainland states and a membership approaching 1200. In October 1967 I joined the AMRA and became a member of the Vic- Enjoy Shunting Again 88 torian branch which in those days had about 130 members but the monthly meetings held at the All Saints Church hall in Kooyong attracted less than 20 members. Arrangements were in hand to lease the waiting Martindale Creek Expan- 93 room at North Port railway station, but this venture was short lived as at- sion tendances fell and we returned to All Saints. In 1971 the ex RSL hall at Glen Iris was purchased as the future home of AMRA Victorian branch.

PAGE 86 AMRA JOURNAL NO.352 – JUL/AUG 2O16 In the last issue of Journal we included photos of six C38 class 4-6-2 express passenger engines used as load testing on the second Hawkesbury River Railway Bridge, opened for service in 1946. On this page, in three photos above, we go back in time 14 years earlier to rec- ord load testing on the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The opening in 1932 provided the spectacle of dozens of steam engines lined up end to end, with the Bridge initially providing four rail tracks. For the test, all four tracks were filled with steam engines. Two tracks were then assigned to run trams, and in later years the rails were lifted for road traffic to connect with the Cahill Expressway over Circular Quay. Two railway tracks on the western side remain to this day connecting the City with the North Shore Line. Now we go back in time yet another 25 years to 1907. This gives you 25 years to paddle your canoe up- stream from the Hawkesbury River Bridge and, if you paddle against the flow of water and stay on the major tributary, you will find this major waterway supporting your fragile craft is now known as the Nepean River. A new twin-track bridge across the Nepean River to replace the original crossing was opened in May 1907. The larger image shows NSWGR dignitaries and engine crew assembled for the official photograph. No one is hatless, waistcoats were popular (with a pocket watch on a chain) and a moustache was fashionable if not mandatory. A rolled umbrella completed the attire, while the executives chose a bowler hat. AMRA JOURNAL NO.352 – JUL/AUG 2O16 PAGE 87 What interests us is the four engines behind the well-dressed gathering. They are members of the T class, 2-8-0. In his classic work Locomotives of Australia, Leon Oberg records this class as “possibly one of Austral- ia’s most trouble-free designs.” The first entered service in 1896.

    BOROUGH COUNCIL OF WELLINGBOROUGH AGENDA ITEM 4 Development Committee 17 February 2020 Report of the Principal Planning Manager Local listing of the Roundhouse and proposed Article 4 Direction 1 Purpose of report For the committee to consider and approve the designation of the Roundhouse (or number 2 engine shed) as a locally listed building and for the committee to also approve an application for the addition of an Article 4(1) direction to the building in order to remove permitted development rights and prevent unauthorised demolition. 2 Executive summary 2.1 The Roundhouse is a railway locomotive engine shed built in 1872 by the Midland Railway. There is some concern locally that the building could be demolished and should be protected. It was not considered by English Heritage to be worthy of national listing but it is considered by the council to be worthy of local listing. 2.2 Local listing does not protect the building from demolition but is a material consideration in a planning application. 2.3 An article 4(1) direction would be required to be in place to remove the permitted development rights of the owner. In this case it would require the owner to seek planning permission for the partial or total demolition of the building. 3 Appendices Appendix 1 – Site location plan Appendix 2 – Photos of site Appendix 3 – Historic mapping Appendix 4 – Historic England report for listing Appendix 5 – Local list criteria 4 Proposed action: 4.1 The committee is invited to APPROVE that the Roundhouse is locally listed and to APPROVE that an article 4 (1) direction can be made.

It and the fishery below it and towards Breakfast Creek was the towrie – the main hunting or resource area – of one of Brisbane’s largest cluster of Aboriginal camps. It was also the area that northern groups, such as the Kabi of Bribie Island and the Sunshine Coast, were permitted to use as their ‘hunting ground’ when staying in Brisbane. Consequently, many early settler interactions were with Kabi people staying in this area.

NI, l SKETCH SHOWING PART OF THE LAYOUT AT WATERLOO NOT TO SCALL 31sr October, 1961. SIR, I have the honour to report, for the information of the Minister of Transport, in accordance with the Order dated 13th April, 1961, the result of my Inquiry into the collision between an electric passenger train and an engine, which occurred at 5.26 pm.. on 11th April. 1961, at Waterloo, in the Southern Region, British Railways. The 4.38 pm. 8-coach multiple unit electric passenger train from Effingham Junction to Waterloo (via Epsom) was approaching Waterloo on the Up Main Local line. It was to be stopped at the outer home signal (a colour light), which was at Red, for the engine to pass in the Down direction from the Down Main Through line across the Up Main Local line to the Down Main Local line, en route to the Motive Power Depot. The electric train, however, failed to stop at the signal and collided head on with the engine on the crossover which had been reversed for the latter, at a point about 195 yards beyond the signal. At the time of the collision the electric train was travelling at 20-25 miles per hour and the engine at about 12 m.p.h. The engine was running tender leading and its driver only became aware of the electric train at the last moment, and was unable to slacken speed.

  • John Castle's Story
    MY ‘O’ GAUGE STORY JOHN CASTLE Canham Junction track and wiring diagram Canham Junction and the Tilbrook branch are privately owned and are sited in a 20ft x 14ft shed across a 14ft roadway opposite the club room. The two sheds are connected by a removable bridging piece in two sections. These sections are covered against the weather, which can be very wet and windy. The double track line enters at one end under Canham station road over bridge and leaves the other end under a three arch bridge over which a narrow country lane passes to Tilbrook. The branch leaves the main line and swings to the left, under another small road bridge, over a small stream and still swinging to the left passes over a level crossing and into the little country terminus of Tilbrook. At Canham there are 2 station shunters a J50 and an F7, and a D49 ‘Derbyshire’ ready to depart with the morning local passenger to the north. At the end of the branch at Tilbrook shed is another D49 ‘Berkshire’ preparing the through parcels to Bath, a push-pull fitted G5 for the 2 coach branch passenger train, a J24 to deal with the 2 goods trains daily each way, and an ex Wisbech & Upwell 0-4-0tramloco’ as a shunter.
