Railroading in Australia
Permalink  
 

Sometime or another I'm going to have to go to Australia
mainly because my step-daughter resides there. Of course
I need something to do besides chit chat and the usual
touristy things. The railroads of Australia look very interesting to
me. The hodge-podge of oddball power and slightly different
rolling stock would make for some great moments trackside
with a camera.

They probably run on the wrong side of the tracks, like the C&NW and DM&IR used to do. That all changed when mighty Missabe discovered single track, and the UP discovered the C&NW.

When am I going to go there? I don't know. I don't travel well
these days. I can't image being in an airplane seat (all cramped up)
for 15 hours. I need to get a passport first. Not sure a trip to
the land down under is in my destiny. It could be a wonderful
expierence but for some reason I'm dragging my heels.
