@Cricketstar; could you please ask Jerker to put up the Ipswich line, I am cracking to get started.Michael Gitsham
good news, i have acquired the Cleveland line from jerker, hope to get a start on it soon
The present day main road over rail bridge just west of Wellington Point Station was built and in use just before the line's closure in 1960. It was reused when line rebuilt for the electric services. Unless it has been rebuilt in very recent years, it is the steam era bridge but modified for electric services.its the modern, the whole project is done on the modern city train network
What I meant is that in the 1970s I used to drive over that bridge I mentioned and dream of trains returning. When the trains returned to Wellington Point in 1986 and Cleveland [former Raby Bay] in 1987, I made sure I drove over that same bridge with the trains in operation!Cricketstar
I think you will find the alignment is basically the old steam era alignment, IIRC it was shortened a fraction as the original station was closer to the coast than its current location. Redlands Shire Council again IIRC kept the alignment in the hope that the line would one day be rebuilt. And i think Petan means that some features of the line date back to the steam era. Ghosty
Michael maybe you missed "Cricketstar's" reply back on November 12 as shown belowPeter,The term modern that @cricketstar is reffering to is the present day e.g 2011
