The Next Update I will have more about our Travels in 2014.

Keep your eye out for another write up on our Travels.

This Newsletter/Blog Page.

I created this Newsletter/Blog Page, for the Purpose of Sharing my Railway Station Photos of which I have taken in 5 different States of the country.

Since starting this Newsletter/Blog Page in July 2018, there has been 47,906 Visitors to the site, which is no big deal as the site was created for the less fortunate, who may not be able to travel to these locations.

This site was not created to copy anybody else, it was merely created to share all my Photos I have taken since the late 90's.

My interest in railways started a long time ago when I used to watch trains at the Keith Railway Station in South Australia. I was still going to school at that stage, so that was in the early 60's. I also travelled on the Bluebird Railcars between Keith and Adelaide. As well as the Melbourne Express and the Blue lake Train.

The Newsletter/Blog Page has evolved since I started it as it now covers many different Railway related topics.

In the New Year it goes to a new Web address, and a New Website.

I will be advising everybody of the New Newsletter/Blog Page in the New Year.

Wauchope Railway Station is getting an Upgrade.

This Write up is ready to be released. Today is Tuesday the 22nd of December, 2020.

In the next update I will be doing a write up on my Media Organisation as I now have several Facebook Pages, Many Blogs and some Websites as well. No big deal, just keeps me Busy, and the Mind active.

Special Feature-Railway Passenger services.

Good morning, Today is Sunday the 9th of December, 2018. This story is to do with Railway Passenger services and how they have dwidled away to a mere pittance to what they once were. 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. Queensland and Western Australia have introduced new services and new Trains, but in my opinion, not to the same extent as Victoria. Here is a Photograph of the Bluebird Rai...

This write up is about the Temple Court Station. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temple_Court_railway_station Above is the Murrurundi Railway Station. The Temple Court Station is/was 1.2 or 1.6 kilometres north from the above station. Here is a couple of Photos of the Temple Court Railway Line, or if you like the Branch line from the Oil Shale Production site to the Temple Court Railway Station. These Photos were sourced from the Willow Tree Then and Now Page. Here is a Photo of the Railway Station. It's location, was 1.3 Kilometres from the Murrurundi Railway Station. The Station opened in late April 1878. To the North of the Station was a Loop and a branch to the Oil Shale Works, located on the slope of the hill at the End of Elizabeth Street I believe.
