Train & bridge
Jul. 31st, 2006 02:16 pmNoting this so I can find it later, but it might be of interest
Started with this: Railway Bridge over Jordan River, which is the same the photo I found in a book I was looking at, of a bridge near Colebrook at the Horseshoe Bend.
Which makes it the same location as Scene of the late railway catastrophe at the Horseshoe Bridge on the main line.
Later I found this Railway timber viaduct, Bridgewater, Tasmania which looks familiar. Look at the shadows on the concrete foundations, esp. the second from the right and where the guy is standing and the position of the locomotive.
And finally, photos of the Tasmanian Railway Disaster.
There's a bit that sqrls found that seems to be about the accident, even though the date & caption on the picture are wrong, that suggests it was a bit of news story. Will check newspaper to see. Might be interesting.
