Also in the Appendix is a Working Timetable and a Gradient Chart for the line. Hope this helps. Look forward to further developments.GMW3298https://www.blogger.com/profile/01670783425648121535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722216776327524888.post-66967259028089978562012-01-22T01:09:40.400-08:002012-01-22T01:09:40.400-08:00Hi Andrew

My wifes aunt lives in Kurrajong (now nearly 80) and still laments the closure of the line every time she comes to visit, by train of course!...and her cousin lives on Bowen Mountain ! <br />Looking forward to following your progress.<br />GaryGary Lakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11827189280938138636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722216776327524888.post-15630940549022503162012-01-21T21:36:38.764-08:002012-01-21T21:36:38.764-08:00hahah thats Bizaar....hahah thats Bizaar....Andrew Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01861292344365150920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722216776327524888.post-60426104970444121132012-01-21T20:29:17.112-08:002012-01-21T20:29:17.112-08:00I was having a look at the topos to try and see wh...I was having a look at the topos to try and see where the railway ran and noticed it was near "Bowen Mountain"! <br /><br />You should have some good aerial coverage from the 1940's because you are so close to RAAF Richmond.IainShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02325890799477789627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722216776327524888.post-23091510281838957522012-01-21T18:02:22.647-08:002012-01-21T18:02:22.647-08:00Funny how you spotted that....Funny how you spotted that....Andrew Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01861292344365150920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5722216776327524888.post-47790518101546861832012-01-21T17:59:54.688-08:002012-01-21T17:59:54.688-08:00Excellent Darren, I have seen this on the Dorrigo ...Excellent Darren, I have seen this on the Dorrigo branch and Tumut but the photo showing the shape of how it starts is just what I was after as I couldn't recall it.
