#Virtualrailfanning
Join me for a run from Grange to the junction at Woodville, Adelaide.
Single line branch, that at one point passes through an active golf course!
January 2016 Grange
9 March 1986, the current Grange station, on the eastern side of Military Road replaced the original station on the western side. The station was relocated to prevent traffic flow along Military Road from being interrupted by the arrival of trains.
End of the line ..
Towards Adelaide, 13 km run.
Up front of the DMU
Approaching the golf course
Caution distracted golfers!
Interesting run through the golf course. I don't know of any other suburban railway to do that in this way.
Approaching the junction.

Good morning shut-ins! Today's #virtualrailfanning comes from the Oliver Hill tourist railway on Rottnest Island (WA). The railway was originally built in the mid-1930s for constructing fortifications to house coastal defence artillery and later to supply the guns. 1/
2/ The line was originally ran from the Kingstown Jetty to the gun emplacements on Oliver Hill, but has been extended to the current station at 'Settlement'. The current train (shown) is relatively new, built in 2003 and upgraded in 2019 #virtualrailfanning
3/ The trip from Settlement to Oliver Hill takes around 30 minutes, skirting the eastern side of the island before heading through middle of the island. The track is built to 3' 6" gauge on the sandy soil so prevalent around Perth.

Good morning #shutins! Today's #virtualrailfanning comes from Kyneton (Vic). The date is 20 January 2005 shortly before the line for Regional Fast Rail works. 1/ Kyneton signal box was a double line block post with semaphore signals and level crossing gates worked from the box.
2/ Note the signals on the gantry: Signal # 2 on the left is the Up Home signal while the disc on the right (Signal # 4B) controls moves from the Up to Down lines for access to long-removed goods sidings. #virtualrailfanning.
3/ This view shows the heritage listed level crossing gates at Mollison Street Kyneton. They have been preserved but locked out of use and replaced with a modern lights, bells and booms treatment.

@realDonaldTrump @1100Penn President Trump’s D.C. hotel had so many customers at a networking event for lobbyists last night, that when the hotel's boss went to boast about his “#success” on Twitter, panorama mode was required to show all the patrons.

@realDonaldTrump @1100Penn Russian-funded RT America personalities celebrated “great things” at the Trump Hotel DC. It’s unclear if they were referring to the ease w/which staffers for foreign gov't-funded media can get cash to the U.S. president or something else.

one thing is clear from this college admissions fraud business: privileged white crime in the US has gotten lazy and bad. staging photos for an athletic profile in water polo, a sport that doesnt even exist?? we can do better. thread.
America used to be THE place for white-collar crime. In my day we had the Enron guys, first-class criminals who played complex accounting shell-games that were incomprehensible to all but the most thorough experts, through confusing jargon, numbers, and crafty thwarting of law.
And now a new generation of complacent influencers tries to breed stronger influencers by paying 50k to smarter kids to take tests for them? No attempts to hack databases, or to seize control of College Board itself through bribery or golf course influence. This is not who we are
