Bluebird Railcars South Australian made.

Hi everybody,

This is a Special Feature on the Bluebird Railcars, used in South Australia for many years for Passengers services around the state.

3 of these Railcars were used for the Barossa Wine train until 2003, I believe. 

The next lot of Photos have been sourced from John Mason's Website, Johnnys Pages.



The wikipedia write up is very informative, with lots of information about the Railcars, where they traveled in the state and what has happened to them since they stopped operating.
