Amazing looking engine and a huge amount of work on Mr. Beskowiney's part.<br />Check out the Bitter Creek Western Railroad's website.<br />http://www.bcwrr.org/index.html<br />And yes Terry, the Gallus² Domesticus Railroad does have a certain ring to it!

Have never seen sugar cane - don't think it grows here in Joisey. I bet you had a fun time even with all the detours!Chickenmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02978826295959619815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2051512728005374779.post-6790329146978272582017-02-17T16:13:25.593-05:002017-02-17T16:13:25.593-05:00We could have used a steam train on my last journe...We could have used a steam train on my last journey.<br />Going down we got to Maryboro and the train stopped. Another train was broken down on the track ahead of us. After an hour of head scratching the decided to back up and go around the stalled train. My friends were patiently waiting for me during all this.<br />The trip back to Cairns was possibly the slowest in history. <br />We could only go 40 KPM due to the extreme heat that day (45 degrees celcius). The tracks were bending out of shape so we had to tiptoe along. The A/C was mounted below the car so it was having a meltdown as well. Sigh Looking out the window at the beautiful countryside of Queensland made it bearable. Miles of sugar cane, bananas, pine forests and fields full of cattle and calves getting big enough to be adventurous.<br />No photos as my camera decided it would have a meltdown as well.<br />Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05400897595813764684noreply@blogger.com
