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.

In the past week or so it was announced in the Media that the Overland Train will be stopped in late December 2018, due to the South Australia Government with drawing their $330,000 subsidy to help run it. The decline of Rail passenger services has been happening since the early sixties, possibly even earlier than that. Over that time several different governments, in all states of Australia have cut back on Rail Passenger services. But the irony is that the State of Victoria have been expanding their Rail Passenger services since 2004, with the Introduction of the Vlocity DMU sets, with expansion of the Fleet ever since.

Shuttles run from Toowoomba to Spring Bluff during the month of September and maybe Early October, depending on School Holiday dates. A great display of Flowers as the Coal Train passes by. Many Flowers are blooming in this Photo, and, lots of people watching the Coal trains, as a loaded one passes an empty one. You can legally stand in the Rail Corridor and take photos in both directions. An earlier Photo of the coal trains crossing each other. Pedestrian crossing from the Car Park to the Railway Station.
