The last section on the Walhalla line closed 1954. G42 was moved to Colac. Image

G41 was the G stationed at Colac. The Beechy was harsher than Walhalla. Image
This is G41 at Crowes 1954. After exhausting research we have determined this was the second last train from Crowes. The last service, G41 was reversed. Beech Forest had a reversing loop (around the tennis court).

Goodna (Qld) is now my local railway station. Like most stations it has an interesting history. Open in 1874 on south-western line, duplicated 1886. Sparked 1980. Goodna is adjacent to the Brisbane River and gets flooded from time to time.

Network c. 1920

Goodna was the spot for sod turning (30/1/73) for Brisbane - Ipswich railway. Toffs wanted in THEIR towns, so compromise was Goodna.
Official party travelled to Goodna wharf by paddle steamer.

MY TRIP TO GOODNA.

The Kate, a 150-ton iron, paddle-wheel steamer especially designed for Brisbane’s bay and river trade is mentioned in the article, it too took pax out to Goodna for the big day. The railway killed the river trade.

Paddle steamer Kate Gladstone 1870.
