It's 28 July 1992, and the brilliant mid-winter sunlight captures Queensland Rail 1634 at the crossing gates in the tiny town of Amamoor, on its way to the branch terminus of Melawondi. This was my first sojourn on this now-closed line, and I was amazed at the scene shown here, with picture-postcard crossing gates being manually controlled by one of the train crew. Needless to say, everything in this scene is now gone, including the branch itself, apart from a steam train operating regular services on part of the line.
