Monday 24th of September 2018
I happier days the daily overnight broad gauge passenger service form Melbourne is into the last kilometre of it journey as it takes the turnout for the Keswick (Adelaide) passenger terminal on 24 April 1985.
The train at this time was a joint venture between V/Line and Australian National and motive power on this occasion was V/Line EMD-powered locos X48/S311, both still carrying their Victorian Railway 'blue and gold' livery.
Today The Overland is a shadow of its former self running as a day train only twice a week in each direction, and regularly threatened with extinction.

This is an AEC Reliance bus I was co-driving from London to India; it is seen here, parked on the Khyber Pass; this was a popular stop for passengers to take photographs. From here, through the heat haze, you get a glimpse of a vast plain stretching as far as the eye could see – the first sight of the sub-continent of Pakistan and India.

Turkey: October 1971
While driving this AEC bus from India to London I lost control of it and slid off the road in north-eastern Turkey. This happened at over 5,500 feet elevation on the old dirt road from Agri to Horasan; a couple of hours previously, I'd driven over the snow-covered Tahir Pass (approx. 8,000 feet) without incident, but as we got lower down, the road became a treacherous surface of snow melting on top of mud.
In the background is a yellow truck, bound for Tehran — this was a Scania 140 truck and drawbar trailer operated by the English company, Asian Transport (later renamed Astran). The Scania driver, Dick Snow, offered to drop his trailer and pull the bus back on to the road with a chain, but then another English truck turned up – this one was an ex-Army Bedford belonging to another of the overland companies. The driver of the four-wheel-drive Bedford took over the recovery operation and pulled the bus back onto the road with a wire hawser. The bus was unscathed, although it had collected even more mud to add to what was on it already. The snow that had been on the roof of the bus, for the last thousand-odd miles, had suddenly melted.

Mount Robson Provincial Park, an hours drive from Jasper, is a gem in the wilderness that just begs for the nature lover & photographer to visit. Majestic Mountains, scenic rivers & lakes & quiet places just a bit different to what you find on the Alberta side of the Great Divide.
The Overland Automobile Company was one of the world’s first automobile manufacturers founded in the beginning of the 20th century. Overlands continued to be produced in Toledo, Ohio until 1926, but the name would come back when Daimler Chrysler (Now Fiat Chrysler Automobiles) introduced the Overland name for a trim package on the 2002-present Jeep Grand Cherokee. The badging is a re-creation of the Overland nameplate from the early twentieth century. – Wikipedia
