Triple treat steam at Middleton Crossing Loop with Rx 224 and Rx 207 with an Up Cockle Train to Goolwa crossing the Down facing 621 Duke of Edinburgh which was heading for Victor Harbor with her last Cockle Train for the day.

SteamRanger Heritage Railway's Rx Class locomotives back together again after a 32 year hiatus and are seen entering Port Elliot Station with the Down Cockle Train to Victor Harbor.

South Australian Railways twin Model Type 55 Railcars running along Semaphore Road heading for Adelaide from Semaphore in we think, the late 1950s or early 60s, as there looks to be an FC Type Holden to the right of the train, they were built between 1958 and 1960. The Semaphore branch was closed to traffic in October 1978.

 

The Model Type 55 Railcars were introduced to the SAR and initially used on branch lines and peak suburban passenger routes, followed by the larger Model 75 Type introduced in 1927.

 

The lead unit in this photograph is Railcar 13, which entered service on Tuesday 1st of July 1924 and was later scrapped in the late 60s. The trailing unit is Railcar 9, introduced to service on Monday 9th of June 1924. She was rebuilt after a head-on collision at Mitcham in 1949 and then was condemned in 1968.

 

The only one to survive into preservation is Railcar 8, which is preserved at the National Railway Museum in Port Adelaide, and entered service on the same day as Railcar 9.

Steam Ranger SAR Pacific number 621, Duke of Edinburgh, is seen chugging along towards Victor Harbor after leaving Port Elliot moments earlier on Monday 28 December 2020.

Entering service with Broken Hill Proprietary Company Limited in 1928, this gorgeous 3-foot 6-inch (1067mm) gauge 600V DC locomotive worked on a little-known quarry tramway at Iron Knob on South Australia's Eyre Peninsula, hauling iron stone to the crusher at Iron Monarch.

 

Between 1928 and 1935, Metropolitan Vickers Electrical Company Limited of Manchester and Sheffield, England, supplied four locomotives. E5, E6, E7 and E8 were built in 1942 and 1954 by Adelaide-based locomotive manufacturer Perry Engineering Company Limited of Mile End, South Australia.

 

The locomotives worked with a split overhead and side electrical collection system. A side-bow collector provided power in the quarries, whilst mainline running to the crusher consisted of the standard overhead catenary system.

 

With a maximum speed of 11mph (17km/h) and powered by four 35-horsepower motors, they were capable locomotives working in pairs and hauling ten 25-ton hoppers between them.

 

E1 was the only one to survive into preservation, entering the National Railway Museum at Port Adelaide in 1999. I took this photo in March of this year.

The Malls Balls return.

 

Rundle Mall's famous balls have dropped and the Mall again has a pair. Not quite where they were, but close enough that if you say"Meet you at the Mall's Balls you'll be able to see them from where they were before all the Mall work started.

 

The've been all polished up and the great unwashed are not allowed near them yet.

 

I imagine some pollie big wig type will want to open them, so that he can get the credit for....well, not making them. Not funding them. Perhaps putting them back where they belong. Standing next to them.

 

Whatever it takes for a soundbyte or couple of column inches - I guess.

  

Sound off if you've gotta pair!

 

And remember - you saw it here first!!

Adelaide Central Market, South Australia

  

This spot in the Flinders Ranges is well photographed, there is even a very small parking area there now. But you could stop by every time and it is always different. That is just part of the magic that brings you back time and time again. Gosh I love this place!

I was lucky enough to spend a bit of time with this young lady, it was an experience I'll never forget. The wedge tailed eagle is a long time favourite of mine for several reasons. 1) Awesome vision, it doesn't miss a thing. 2) When it rains, it doesn't seek shelter, it will just fly above the clouds. 3) An eagle doesn't take flight lessons from a chicken.

Keep your vision clear, eye on your goals, and just go for it
