Trailing through Evandale
It's been ages since I tried anything like this. The set up at Evandale was far from ideal, and I didn't bring my lights to give the scene the full treatment, but this will do. It does remind me I really need to get out at night again.
The current timetable allows the train from Boyer to be photographed for much of its journey through the south and midlands, and with daylight savings, even further north. This is very different from when I did this in the 1980s, where you'd be lucky to see a train in daylight north of Bridgewater.
The Don River Railway's 50th anniversary was as good a reason as any to head back to Tasmania. Unlike my previous trip a few months ago, this time would be mostly for trains - the DRR's anniversary in Devonport, plus a couple of days either side for Tasrail chasing. 17 February 2025
