In my Grandfather's collection was an old film strip.
'Scenes on the narrow gauge lines of the Victorian Railways'
The index was lost.
Some of the slides are easy to identify, others not.
Eg. #25
This is coming into Beech Forest on the line from Crowes.
Others harder
#4 I think this is Whitfield, bit foggy.
Oxley. (Wangaratta-Whitfield Line 2'6" Gauge).
