I chased the ARHS Tour yesterday afternoon out to Fisherman's Island and Box Flat. It was pretty easy to keep up (we even had time to stop for lunch). Here are...
The two excursions are related to our current themed children's activities "Wizards' and Witches' Express" (and of course Harry Potter). These two excursions...
Hello all, don't know how many were watching the ABC news tonight but footage was shown of the movement of a couple of way oversize "plants" for Bundamba. ...
G'Day, folks, Have commenced production of an album covering: 1632 On MVHR Passenger Ops (Friday 29 Jun 07) Work in progress...Trust me, there are Locomotive...
Steve, I assume they were talking about mining equipment. I do recall a similar event a few years back where a very large drag-line was walked over the QR...
Interesting Frank-suspect it would have been overhead. Wouldn't be the first PR person to overdramatise something. Reporter was obviously reading the same PR...
Hi Frank/Steve/all, Page 26 of today's Sunday Mail has the story. ========== 'The Sunday Mail', 1 July 2007, p.26 ========== HUGE TANKS HIT THE ROAD It was one...
I'd imagine with the earthmoving equipment available now etc that if one day a line was put back to Samford and Dayboro even, it would be a new route ploughed...
So what track was "ripped up"....? I saw the two loads as they came out of the building plant at Wulkuraka onto the road on Saturday arvo. They didn`t move...

The overhead only was lifted to allow the large load to pass underneath. The rail was not removed. Apparently there are more of these large tanks to go through...
Hi all, The only thing unusual about the load being moved was its weight. Movement of other types of loads, e.g. houses, well in excess of ten metres wide and...
Damn press stuff ups, They wouldn't remove the tracks due to load weight, its a bloody road vehicle, even these heavy load axle weights donot come close to the...
Some great pics there -hopefully this might be the beginning of a few more diesel hauled tours. I was at Swanbank yesterday (album will be up sometime in the...
That certainly was a quite a load to move! On Saturday, I noticed stacks of piping in the centre of the balloon loop at Box Flat. I assume that this will...
Mick, There are pipelines going every which way around here. There is a sewage treatment plant at Bundamba, just near the Warrego Highway, which is being...
I fully agree with your "PS" Lindsay. It would be good if the Mary Valley Heritage Railway team could run 1632 on a regular basis to give people a choice. Old...
Must admit-I'd like to just hear 1632 run to hear the motor. I've been more than happy with my trips up the Mary Valley behind steam. I'd think most people...

Bill, Whilst the car park might be private property I imagine that railway right of way remains in government hands. There are specific rules for motorists...
Mike Perhaps these crossings are more like the old 'occupational crossings' that used to join the parts of private property bisected by a railway line. Does...
... Thanks Steve...I'm guessing unless there's a couple of 2600s about to return to service they'll have to 'borrow' something from Stuart/ARG. It's a pity I...

2176D worked the first 9L99 after 2201D headed south, along with 2155D. However, after returning from Townsville, 9S88 had 2214D up front (still with 2155D) ...
Arthur, Me thinks you may be right there! :) Bill N, I agree with what you say and I guess that's the point I was trying to get across. Even one death,...

Bill, You might have to seek legal opinion as to what is deemed a road under the legislation. The section referring to level crossings can be seen at: - ...
Is it true that some LRVs can carry more passengers than buses, especially standing passengers? I'm showing my bias here, but I reckon a Light Rail line would...
