Something a bit different today for rail enthusiasts.
Springfield line was constructed in stages. 1. Richlands opened Jan 2011. 2. Springfield Central Dec 2013.
** Ballast train 2nd September 2010 - first train to reach Richlands Station**
Darra, junction. Image
Coming into Darra. Please paint me! 😉 Image
The track between Corinda and Darra had been amplified from a double to a quad. Exciting times .. Image
Chasing at Boundary Road. Image
Ditto .. Image
Richlands ..
Here comes the ballast ! Image
Richlands. Image
Note only down track at this time. Sleeper stacks over on the up side. Image
The road next to Richlands is regularly congested these days ... ease the pain go by train! 😉 Image
Ballast train (down) heading towards Corinda passing through Darra. The ballast train is passed by an UP coal (empty). At Corinda locos push train back to Darra on down sub line & then onto Richlands branch. First train to enter Richlands station proper.

On the journey from Corinda to Richlands. Ballast train pushed through Oxley.
Train is on the down sub line (platform one Oxley).
Apologies for the quality, it was a while ago ..
Quite an unusual train movement to say the least.
Hope you enjoyed !

Lest We Forget ..
As many as 247 trains ran per week in 1944.
Incredible for an aging fleet of steam loco second hand from WA and Qld, SA. They soldiered on!
