Burns-Cockburn Railway Location.

-
Hi again,

This is a write up about what is left at this Location.
Or I should say what was still there in May 2004, when I visited this Location.

The Cockburn Railway Station opened on the 11th of June 1887.

The Burns Railway Station opened in the 2nd of January 1888.

Lots of Photos of Cockburn at the above link.


Some of the old Infrastructure left from the early days.

 The telephone lines were still in existence when this Photo was taken.

More Photos and Info to follow.

The next 2 Photos were sourced from NSWRAIL.NET

 The above Photo is looking towards the Former Bordergate Hotel.

The last 2 Photos were taken by Robert Heal, in December 2002.

Here's some Photos from Greg Davis's Collection.
Taken in November 2016.



The Former Bordergate Hotel, at the left of the Photo.

Both Railway Stations closed in 1970 when the Standard gauge went through.

Morning,
Today is Monday the 6th of July.

I have been reading the "Rails to Wealth" book written by Lew Roberts.
In the book there are two Photos of the Stations of Coburn and Burns.
You may say I have the spelling wrong for Coburn.
Apparently the name was changed to Cockburn sometime after it was built.

Here is another link with lots of info,

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.
