XPT stabled at #Albury this morning.

First time i have used my wifes BINGE account and every block of advertising (not to mention too many too often) freezes mid way through the fourth ad. Restart the show and it starts previous to the advertising so i don’t miss the big freeze again. One star rating.

Interesting how this can occur in 2025. It’s not about no injuries this time, what if it is a passenger train next time.

Perfect, positive safety and environmental outcomes. Need more of this approach in Australia.

2025 celebrates 200 years of the modern #railway on our planet. The 25th Sept date is based on the opening of the Stockton to Darlington railway in England. #NSW opened its first railway in #Sydney (#Redfern to #Granville) 30 years and 1 day later on the 26 Sept 1855. (pic wiki)

Really ABC News? What led to your organisation to think a warning is required for spider pictures in a story about spiders?

Today we pause to reflect on the 48th anniversary of the largest rail disaster in Australia’s history. 18/01/1977, 84 people were killed and 213 injured after a train derailed near Granville station, striking a bridge and causing it to collapse onto two passenger carriages.

30 years difference, quite the perspective.

Pt2 This year sees the 170th anniversary of railways supporting the British Army 🇬🇧 & our Allies in the Crimean War But the Battle of Olustee in the US also saw the use of trains One hospital train broke down & was pulled by troops (& later horses) a total of 10 miles! #Trains

This is how a Level Crossing looks in NSW that is isolated from normal operation.

Anyone care to guess where i am today?

It’s hard to believe a country with nuclear capabilities and a space program still relies on humans to open and close #railway level crossing gates manually.

Near miss at a level crossing near Muswellbrook in the Hunter Valley. That motorists family probably don’t know how lucky they were to see them come home that day. youtu.be/vkQh2xT7ZK4?si…

The 80th School Boy’s #Rugby #League competition in #Junee this weekend provides the opportunity to not only enjoy great football but see the #trains pass by! Here the #Griffith bound #passenger service passes a Pacific National grain service loading at the sub terminal.

The Kemp St Bridge in Junee has only a few weeks before its removal to construct a new bridge as per Inland Rail works. The new bridge will allow double stacked containers on trains. The current bridge was opened in 1945 to replace the original Hill St Gates (level Crossing).
