On the 17/7/24, the OeBB (Oensingen Balsthal Bahn Railway) celebrated its 125th anniversary. One of the highlights of the day was the use of an Re4/4 on the shuttle trains between Oensingen and Balsthal.
Here we see Re4/4 locomotive 11350 propelling the 10:32 service from Balsthal to Oensingen on the morning of the 17/7/24. The S-Bahn service is usually worked by units, but on special occasions, they are loco-hauled.
** For information, due to the formation of the train and the position of the sun at various times of the day, there are very few places where this train can be snapped. It is also limited to the morning only if the sun is shining.

The railway station precinct has historical association, aesthetic, research, social, research and representative significance. The station building and stationmaster's residence are very significant civic buildings and important townscape elements in understanding the political and economic development of Uralla.
Development of the railway system has a historical association with the development of local, regional and national economies. Construction of the railway line and associated buildings was part of the expansion of railways throughout the 1880s and 1890s. This part of the northern line was a result of the work of John Whitton, Engineer-in-Chief for Railways and the contractors, the Amos Bros. The structure and layout of the line has undergone little change since the early 1880s.
The architecture of the railway station and station master's residence are interesting examples of railway architectural style of the 1880s.
Social significance arises from the use of the railway as a system of carrying passengers and varied goods. It was a meeting place for railway workers, horse and vehicle carriers, farmers and travellers as they waited for trains to arrive and goods to be unloaded.
The station precinct has historical and archaeological research potential. The main shed has been demolished and is a potential archaeological site.
The Uralla railway station is part of a group of mid Victorian stations built on the main northern line between Tamworth and the border that represents the most intact group of buildings in the state dating from the late 1870s. The residence is an excellent example of a residence built for the station master with an entrance forecourt. There is a similar example at Armidale.
The Uralla Railway Station group is representative of the economic rationalist approach developed by the state government in the 1980s as stations were closed, infra-structure demolished and station master's residences sold off.

Broken Hill Trip - Day 4
The iconic "Indian Pacific", being hauled by Pacific National loco NR29 with G530, arriving into Broken Hill, Outback NSW Australia, from Sydney at 6am 28 June 2018 on its way to Perth WA. Passengers disembark for a choice of 3 off-train excursions to local galleries or similar for approx 2 hours before continuing on westward towards Perth, Western Australia.
"The Indian Pacific is an Australian passenger rail service that operates between Sydney, on the Pacific Ocean, and Perth, on the Indian Ocean. It is one of the few truly transcontinental trains in the world. The train first ran in February 1970 after the completion of gauge conversion projects in South and Western Australia.
The train's route includes the world's longest straight stretch of railway track, a 478-kilometre (297 mi) stretch of the Trans-Australian Railway over the Nullarbor Plain.
The service was originally operated jointly by the New South Wales Government Railways, South Australian Railways, Commonwealth Railways and Western Australian Government Railways, until February 1993 when Australian National took full ownership. In October 1997, the Indian Pacific was sold to Great Southern Rail.
A one-way trip takes between 70.5 and 75 hours, depending on scheduling and daylight saving periods. The train currently has two classes, branded as Platinum and Gold Service. A motorail service conveys passengers' motor vehicles between Adelaide and Perth."

"Voorverkiezer" 38 ,, in 1956 door AEC/Verheul geleverd staat op de halte van in datzelfde jaar opgeheven tramlijn 17. In de jaren'50 werd een drietal tramlijnen- 11,12 en 17-omgezet in buslijnen. Het GVB en de gemeente hadden niet veel vertrouwen meer in het railgebonden vervoer: de toekomst was aan de bus.
De komst van de eerste gelede trams in 1957 deed het beeld echter radicaal kantelen, en in 1962 werd lijn 17 weer omgezet in een naar Osdorp verlengde en zeer succesvolle tramlijn.
Op deze foto uit het NS archief is dat alles nog toekomstmuziek en dient men hobbelend en wel naar het Surinameplein vervoerd te worden.

Vintage Friday: Temporarily replaced.
between 1956 and 1962 route 17 was replaced by a bus service.
Railtraffic was considerd out-of-date and three tramlines were abandoned. The arrival in 1957 of the first articulated trams however, completely changed the view on railtransport, and route 17 was proudly re-instated in 1962.
Here we see one of the replacement busses at it's terminal. Built in 1956 they were called 'pre-selectives', for their type of transmission .

A 4-car 2600 class railcar set crosses the Glashaboy River at Dunkettle with the 0700hrs commuter service to Cobh. This was one of three 4-car 2600 class railcars that were noted operating in East Cork on this date. The other two were deployed on the peak-hour Cobh and Midleton services.
The strengthening of the services in East Cork is due to Irish Open taking place at Fota (19-22 June).

The National Railway Museum, York, North Yorkshire.
The National Railway Museum in York displays a collection of over 100 locomotives and nearly 300 other items of rolling stock, virtually all of which either ran on the railways of Great Britain or were built there. Also on the 20 acres (8.1 ha) site are many hundreds of thousands of other items and records of social, technical, artistic and historical interest, exhibited mostly in three large halls of a former motive power depot next to the East Coast Main Line, near York railway station. It is the largest museum of its type in Britain. It also has more visitors than any other British museum outside London, attracting more than 717,000 visitors in the financial year 2011–2012.
The National Railway Museum was established on its present site, the former York North locomotive depot, in 1975, when it took over the former British Railways collection located in Clapham and the York Railway Museum located elsewhere in the city; since then, the collection has continued to grow.
The museum is a short walk from the railway station in York, either on the road or via a staircase from the rear of the platforms. A "roadtrain" runs from the city centre (near York Minster) to the museum on Leeman Road during half term, holidays and summer. York Park and Ride also serve the museum from the car park entrance, on Line 2 (Rawcliffe Bar-York). Admission to the museum has been free since 2001. It is open daily from 10 am to 6 pm from February to November and 10am to 5pm during the winter months.
Locomotion – the National Railway Museum in Shildon, County Durham was opened in October 2004 and is operated by the NRM in conjunction with Durham County Council.
