rail state

If I could play "rail God", one of my first duties would be to restore trains to the old GN line to Tenterfield. I never saw any trains on it but having been down that way a few times in the last ten years, it surely must have been a masterpiece.

Tenterfield itself is a fascinating station, and now has an interesting local rail musueum in the station building. I don't regard myself as a traditionalist, but what a place it must have been in the Good Old Days!

Interestingly, there seems to be a lot of local community ownership of the original infrastructure, judging by the number of local building preservation activities between Armadale and the border.

Thanks for the photo Aussie Alco!
