4th Station for the November Newsletter.

Good afternoon,

The Railway Station to be featured here is the Broken Hill Railway Station, Built in 1957.

I have come up with a new Slogan,

G.V.A.R.S.T.

"Go Visit a Railway Station Today".

More NSW Railway Stations Photos are at this site,

 A photo taken by Zayden Speechley at the Broken Hill Railway Station in the last couple of days.
I have permission to use his Photograph, thanks for that Zayden.


The Photos above were taken in May 2016.

You could say that the City of Broken Hill is a lucky city.

Since the city was established, 4 Railway Stations have been built.

1 the Sulphide street Railway Station.
2 the Railwaytown Railway Station.
3 the Iodide Street Station, NSW Railways built station.
4 the current one, built in 1957, and, is used by the Indian Pacific train and the Explorer from Sydney.

So Lots of Railway History in the town since the town was started.

This one is situated opposite the Iodide street level crossing, built in 1919, waiting to be restored.

A Plan has been put in place to save this Railway Station, go to the link below,

More text and Photos will be added soon.


The two Photos above are of the Sulphide street Railway Station. It is now used as a Museum. It has many pieces of Rollingstock and Railway memoribilia.
Well worth a visit if you are visiting Broken Hill.
Having visited this Museum a couple of times, I can recommend a visit.

These photos were taken in May 2016 at Silverton NSW.

 The Photo above was put up on the Facebook Page, "Old Stations Across Australia" by Peter Bass. I contacted Peter and asked for permission to use it here. Thanks for that Peter. In the link below, Image 45 is a photo of the above Station from the opposite end.

Good Morning, Today is Saturday the 18th of January, 2020. For the past few years I have been investigating the Possibility of Extending Regional Rail Services in South Australia and New South Wales. In the process I have copped a lot of Flack, but all I am trying to do is give a Passenger service to the people in Rural Australia. In March 2019 I contacted UGL. Ian Pendlebury is the person I spoke to about building a new single Railcar which are driveable from Both Ends. From the emails, and, a Phone conversation I had with Ian, it was pointed out to me that it would be too expensive to have a New one built. He suggested that I contact a Manufacturer who has Railcars already in Production. I contacted Bombadier in Melbourne, but they did not answer my email, so I will need to try and contact them next week. In the last few weeks I have been putting together information about the possibility of running a railcar from Casino to Lismore and maybe further on. In the last ...
