Thanks for visiting my site. I hope you find it informative, interesting and worth your trip here. :-) Please don't forget to click "refresh" on each page of the site for the most updated version of the page.

What's NEW?

Latest photo gallery additions, (under Infrastructure and Signalling section) features photos I took of Helidon Railway Station on the Toowoomba Line. Taken 17 Aug 2018. Though basically deserted for the most part these days it does still see some use and is still an active station.

Latest video footage is of a chance capture on my dashcam of Locos 2366D/2309D hauling an empty up coal train through Karrabin. 27 Oct 2018.

What's this site about?

DEL 2828

First of all and probably most obviously, this site is NOT the official site of Aurizon, Queensland Rail, Pacific National or any other rail corporation whether it be in Queensland or Australia, nor is it affiliated with any particular rail preservation, tourist or historical group. What this site is however, is a central point from where I can share photos, videos, links to rail related organisations and a little information of the current state of railways in Queensland, courtesy of rail tragic and author Arthur Shale. Trusting you find something here of interest.

Feel free to comment, or make a CONSTRUCTIVE criticism of this site. I assure you I am far from being a railway expert! If you believe I have made an error with any information anywhere on this site, please let me know. Just click on 'e-mail me!' on the menu bar and drop me a line.
