Incl. GST “In This Sad World of Ours” Buses in Fairyland The Times Journal of the Australian Association of Time Table Collectors Inc. (A0043673H) Print Publication No: 349069/00070, ISSN 0813-6327 March 2011 Issue No. 324 Vol 28 No. 03 —Contents— ARE WE THERE YET? 3 LINCOLN FUNERAL TRAIN 7 BUSES TO FAIRYLAND 13 On the front cover Our friend Bluey here has been a cover girl on The Times previously– see the Australian Dog’s Breakfast series in 2005. Here, she focuses her attention on the track and a KPI of the trains which run upon it. Like any Dog’s Breakfast, KPIs are a mixed bunch and hard to digest– you really need a cast-iron stomach. Nevertheless, in this issue, we shall try. The most closely-watched train in all of history was surely that for President Abraham Lincoln’s funeral. This month it is also examined, with the help of a number of what we would nowadays call “Special Train Notices”. In the post-Civil War period, the US had already built up a very impressive railway system– see Trains magazine for March 2011 for an excellent map. The “STNs”, I feel, still bear the imprint of operating practices and jargon inherited from England. By the time the next assassinated President rode the rails (Garfield in 1881) the practices and jargon had transformed to an American standard. It is interesting and sobering to realise that funeral trains have been run for nearly all US Presidents who died or were assassinated in office– except JFK in 1963, but one was run for his assassinated brother Robert.

  • Union Depot Tower Interlocking Plant
    Union Depot Tower Union Depot Tower (U.D. Tower) was completed in 1914 as part of a municipal project to improve rail transportation through Joliet, which included track elevation of all four railroad lines that went through downtown Joliet and the construction of a new passenger station to consolidate the four existing passenger stations into one. A result of this overall project was the above-grade intersection of 4 north-south lines with 4 east-west lines. The crossing of these rail lines required sixteen track diamonds. A diamond is a fixed intersection between two tracks. The purpose of UD Tower was to ensure and coordinate the safe and timely movement of trains through this critical intersection of east-west and north-south rail travel. UD Tower housed the mechanisms for controlling the various rail switches at the intersection, also known as an interlocking plant. Interlocking Plant Interlocking plants consisted of the signaling appliances and tracks at the intersections of major rail lines that required a method of control to prevent collisions and provide for the efficient movement of trains. Most interlocking plants had elevated structures that housed mechanisms for controlling the various rail switches at the intersection. Union Depot Tower is such an elevated structure. Source: Museum of the American Railroad Frisco Texas CSX Train 1513 moves east through the interlocking. July 25, 1997. Photo courtesy of Tim Frey Ownership of Union Depot Tower Upon the completion of Union Depot Tower in 1914, U.D. Tower was owned and operated by the four rail companies with lines that came through downtown Joliet.

The following Statement of Significance has been quoted from the Rookwood - Conservation Management Plan prepared by GML (2016): . Rookwood Necropolis is one of the largest burial grounds in the world and contains the largest 19th century cemetery in Australia; . The scale of design, design features, use of plants, gardenesque layout, high quality and diversity of structures, monuments and details of Rookwood represent a rare surviving example of mid-late 19th century ideals for a major public cemetery. The choices of plants in these sections also demonstrate 19th century funerary etiquette and fashion by way of plant symbolism; . The imagination and expertise of a number of prominent individuals are manifest in the historic fabric and design of Rookwood …This includes its original design and subsequent development over almost 150 years. The Necropolis was designed as a pleasant setting both for the dead and a comforting site for visiting mourners. The landscape was equipped with visitor amenities such as carriageways, paths, plantings, fences, signs, chapels, shelters and drainage.

  • London Walk 3: Waterloo to Charing Cross Via Lincoln's Inn Fields
    London Walk 3: Waterloo to Charing Cross via Lincoln's Inn Fields Leave Waterloo Station by main entrance 1 Waterloo Station * Britain's busiest station originally opened in 1840. * Station was very chaotic until rebuilding in early 20th century when 24 platforms were put under one roof. Finally completed in 1922 when the victory arch and war memorial were opened by Queen Mary. * In Jerome K Jerome's 1889 comic novel, Three Men in a Boat, the protagonists spend some time in the station, trying to find their train to Kingston upon Thames. After being given contradictory information by every railway employee they speak to, they eventually bribe a train driver to take his train to their destination: We got to Waterloo at eleven, and asked where the eleven-five started from. Of course nobody knew; nobody at Waterloo ever does know where a train is going to start from, or where a train when it does start is going to, or anything about it. The porter who took our things thought it would go from number two platform, while another porter, with whom he discussed the question, had heard a rumour that it would go from number one. The station-master, on the other hand, was convinced it would start from the local. * The London Necropolis Company ran a daily one-way funeral train to Brookwood cemetery from 1854 until 1941 when the station received a direct hit. * With just under 100 million passenger entries and exits between April 2013 and March 2014, Waterloo is Britain's busiest railway station by passenger usage.[9] The Waterloo complex is the 15th busiest passenger terminal in Europe,[10] and the 91st busiest railway station in the world.
