Steam on the Fleurieu Peninsular

2012 marked the 60th anniversary of the Australian Railway Historical Society South Australian Division and to celebrate the event, Rx 207 and 621 “Duke of Edinburgh” operated on 2 separate trains to Goolwa, before combining to form a double header for the run back to Mt Barker. We covered the train at a variety of locations including 621 being turned on the Mt Barker turntable in the evening with an atmospheric boiler blow down. We chased 621 operating 2 Southern Encounter workings in June providing spectacular sound and vision with 2 ascents of Philcox Hill, preparations at Mt Barker depot, to blow downs near the coal stage and over the Angus River at Strathalbyn. We return to SteamRanger in September to film a full days running with 621 on the Southern Encounter, beginning at the depot at Mt Barker before following it to a variety of locations along the line. At Victor Harbour, watch the loco being turned, then operating the Cockle Train to Goolwa and return. Later..

STEAM on 16mm in the SIXTIES

QR Lineside 4 - Monto Loop

The Monto loop was a result of competition between coastal railway centres, separate lines from Maryborough and Gladstone reaching the town in 1928 and 1931. Built mainly to access mineral resources, the loop saw mostly light traffic in agricultural produce. The loop was never used for diversion of main line traffic when the Maryborough-Gladstone line was blocked, because the section between Mungar and Mundubberra had light rail, sharp curvature, and steep grades. It could not accept main-line engines. The section from Gladstone to Monto was better built, but the ascent of the Dawes Range required no less than six tunnels, and a ruling grade of 1 in 33.Traffic was heaviest between Monto and Gayndah. The loop escaped closure in the 1960s, but now has no traffic, the branch being "redlined". ..
