Colac - Beech Forest - Crowes VR 2' 6" railway
Some old photographs in my Grandfather's collection. Not the best quality but hope of some interest.
On this occasion a NA was doing the honours.
Ferguson (127 1/2 miles) was on the Beech Forest - Crowes line.

This is probably c. 1930s. The UP train from Beech Forest has recently arrived judging by the pax movements. I suspect this was an opportunity photograph on a trip on the 5' 3". Taken from footbridge.

Gellibrand 1960. I was fortunate to do a couple of trips to Weeaproinah before the line finally closed.
